Hello,

KSqueezedTextLabel is a good widget.

But cutting texts on the middle can be very uggly !!!
And sometimes unwanted.

For example because the begin of the text is more important : text should be cutted on the end.
Actually, it is cutted on the middle, that make the text unreadable (we have a small begin, and a small end... we cannot see what it say).

I also envisage cutting at begin could be usefull if the end of a text is more important.

So, KSqueezedTextLabel should have a method to set where to cut
- "...uvwxzy" : setWhereToCut(KSqueezedTextLabel::AtBegin);
- "abc...xyz" : setWhereToCut(KSqueezedTextLabel::AtMiddle);
- "abcdef..." : setWhereToCut(KSqueezedTextLabel::AtEnd);

With KSqueezedTextLabel::AtMiddle by default.
And eventually an optionnal constructor parameter for that (one liner).

I know feature freeze is near but I imagine the change could take less than one hour...



Unrelated note : I cannot select KDE 3.2.0 (only 3.2.1 and greater) in bugzilla !!!
It's exagerous : every users don't want to install all versions of KDE.
I don't want to take time to install minor releases (moreover if KDE 3.3 will be out if few months) !

Thank you.
