I also agree that the HIG should be rewritten to allow for MDI interfaces. In fact, most of the KDE applications that I use do in fact have tabs (Konsole, Konqueror, Dolphin, Kopete), multiple documents (Kate), multiple components (Kontact), or tabbed sidebars (Amarok, Digikam). Furthermore, applications such as Okular would greatly benefit from the addition of tabs. Bug reports on KPDF and Okular state that the developer has no problem implementing tabs, other than the fact that the KDE HIG states that tabs are off limits. What is the justification for forbidding MDI? *** Bug 170995 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I am willing to take upon myself the rewriting of the relevant HIG documentation. How does one commit changes to the HIG? Thanks. |
