Description Stephan Sokolow 2006-08-04 09:40:02 UTC

Version:           1.2.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9) 
OS:                Linux

While I can understand the potential performance reasons for not displaying flash applets in the aKregator preview pane, perhaps a "click to view" button like FlashBlock for Firefox offers would be better or, failing that, an image showing where a flash applet would normally appear?

Do you mean the pane on the main tab, or additional browser tabs?
At least the latter works here...

Comment 2 Stephan Sokolow 2006-08-04 10:03:29 UTC

The former. The latter works fine except for a little problem with Flash-based streaming (eg. YouTube, Google Video, etc.) which is shared by Konqueror.

Comment 3 Frank Osterfeld 2006-08-20 22:02:38 UTC

I think "Show Plugin" as used in konqueror (and the internal browser tabs) when using "Plugins->Load Plugins on demand only" would be optimal.
To enable plugins for the article viewer following the konq settings is an one-liner (you can test it even via dcop: "dcop akregator html-widget1 setPluginsEnabled true").

But unfortunately the "Load on demand only" setting can only set globally and I can't override it for the preview pane. So if the user wants to have plugins loaded immediately in konq, but "Show plugin" buttons in akregator, this is not possible.
