Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux The plasmoid normally works fine but everytime I start KDE around midnight (read as deep during european night) it doesn't show a thing but fails with "Getting comic strip failed". With KDE 4.4 it simply showed some older one instead (which never was the current one). Suggested solution: Simply show the latest strip instead until a new one is available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Add comic plasmoid with Garfield and start KDE during european night time (read as midnight +). Actual Results: "Getting comic strip failed" Expected Results: Show me the latest retrieved strip instead of that error message.
Actually the reason why I changed the behaviour in 4.5 were users bugging me that the behaviour of showing the last cached file is confusing. I might make the old behaviour a config option, though I'll wait if there is actually demand for that -> there are already many config options.
