Description Elias Probst 2006-09-17 16:04:23 UTC

Version:           1.0pre2 (using KDE 3.5.4, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-gentoo-r7

As already posted in bug#134158. It was a report containing more than one bug, so I've splitted it up.

Copy'n'paste from bug#134158:

The buttons (Query CDDB, Save CDDB entry locally, ...) should have a text label just like the "Start Ripping" button. It would make the UI more intuitive. At the moment you have to 'mouseover' them to find out what they do. 

The same should be done to the buttons in the CD ripping dialog for saving/loading/... user configuration.

Just noticed that this affects the DVD-Ripping dialog too.

So you don't know K3b before 1.0? These user settings buttons were bug before. 
I decided to make them this small because it is an advanced feature which 
only confuses the average user. I won't change that back.

I know K3B before 1.0x.
I think it's okay for the ripping dialogs, but the ones on top of the track list should have a text label or another solution would be to change the icon of "Edit album CDDB info", because at the moment there are two identic icons what leads to confusion.
I've noticed that the text is now smaller than in 0.x. It looks good!

I aggree. How about a context menu which allows switching the labels on and 
off just as for normal toolbars in every kde app?

Sounds good!
