Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-03-27 21:21:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

"enter here description" in description field does not help at all. Putting there directory name could be not useful in all cases, but in some for sure -- yes.

Let's say I am in
/home/macias/prg/ccommon/
and I would like to create CAE, in such case suggest "ccommon" as description.

Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2009-08-12 18:29:44 UTC

(this is about "Add Entry..." in places panel)

It should actually use the clickMessage(), instead of putting that text into the description field.

Raising severity.

Comment 2 James Richard Tyrer 2009-08-12 23:18:20 UTC

KDE-4 is the same as KDE-3, but that doesn't mean that it can't be improved.

Yes, "Enter a Description" does little good.

"Description" doesn't seem like a very good label for the window either since what is entered would be better described as "Name" or "Label".

It would be a good thing if the "Location" window contained the currently selected directory as this is the most likely path for the user to want to enter.  If that were the case, then the "Description" window should contain the base name of that path.

Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2009-08-12 23:43:24 UTC

James, I already made a review request to fix this bug and it has the fixes you suggested.

And I did not see that this bug refered to KDE 3. I just verified that it is still valid with current trunk. Fixes will be for the KDE 4.4 version, due to string changes.
