Version: 3.1.2 (using KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20 Just think about being a normal user and being confronted with a java application. Such a user might get tempted to click on the jar file from inside a konqueror window. What happens now is very unexpected and clearly shows a design problem (and therefore it is a bug, not a wish list item)... (1) User gets confused that the content of the jar file gets displayed as an archive - the expected action would have been to execute the jar file. (2) Our brave user realises 'Oh! I just have to set "Open with ..." to call "java -jar" in 1st place' - But surprise: the menu entry already is there, but on second place. Why? ARE ALL KDE USERS HACKERS THAT ARE EVERY DAY DISASSEMBLING JAVA CODE? (3) The brave user will also learn to close and to reopen the konqueror window (another bug report) before the new settings become effective... (4) But still the jar content get shown as an archive. The "Preview in ..." takes precedence about "Open with ..." and our brave user will disable it (after some searching inside the dialogs). (5) Now it works - a click starts the jar file (which should have been the default from the very beginning)! But ... (6) The user became curious - maybe somtimes his role is the one of a hacker - but surprise! Now we have completely lost the preview functionality (the menu entry is gone). ------------------ SUGGESTION ------------------ Add the "Preview in ..." as a pseudo action in the "Open with dialog ...". So it should be possible to retain the "Preview in ..." menu entry without being the default action for a right-mouse-click. Yours J. Pfennig
Yes, I agree, i hate taht too.
All reports about file management mode reported against KDE 3 (konqueror) has been closed: konqueror in KDE 3 is no more developed and mantained. All bugs and wishes which could be interesting for Dolphin in KDE 4 (the new KDE file manager) has been collected into a specific list. Please try the new file manager before request new features and report bugs. Before submitting new reports check carefully the already opened KDE/Dolphin reports in order not to add duplicates. Many thanks.
