how about changing to a half star when clicking again on the same one? I.e. to rate 2,5 you click the third star twice. @Sebastian: Do you really need such granular precision that 5 stars are not enough? I agree that the half-star rating should be dropped. It is overdoing it, and it's implementation is confusing to the user. I agree that we don't really need it. But we need to be backwards compatible. Thus, internally we need to keep the 10 steps. I see no harm in allowing all the steps if necessary. IMHO the suggestion to have the half star on second click is fine. That way you can select every full star rating level with a single click and you don't need to bother with half stars if you don't want to. Another problem is clearing the stars. You can clear the third star by clicking the second, the second by clicking the first, but with the first there is a problem. So a 3rd click should then probably clear the selected star. Atm. you have to click somewhere before the first star. As for backwards compatibility: Personally I can perfectly live the suggested solution. It seems a bit weird though, that nepomuk is hardly really introduced leave alone finished and already backwards compatibility has to be kept for a suboptimal choice (provided it is considered as such). In case of rating, maybe it wouldn't be too much of a problem to decide for 5 stars with KDE 4.3, and convert existing ratings to the next higher full star (notifying the user of course)? This is a perfect junior job to get started in KDE. The affected classes are KRatingWidget and KRatingPainter in kdeui. Created attachment 70123 [details] Proposed batch for 171343 Modified mousePressEvent() and mouseMoveEvent() in KRatingWidget.. Tested it with dolphin. Now: Clicking once on an empty star= 1 star Clicking again = 1/2 star Clicking again = Clears the selected star Submitted at : https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104479/ Git commit 0cc00c8096700946e8990499d5d9c2b7516915e1 by Lamarque V.

Git commit efb14cb69ad53bcdb4f3f7b4f2439183d27ebb05 by Weng Xuetian. Committed on 04/12/2015 at 16:19. Pushed by xuetianweng into branch 'master'. Refactor and fix the feature introduced in bug 171343 1. Enable this feature only if half step is enabled. Otherwise user can only select full star, there is no point enable this feature. 2. Fix and merge the logic, especially for the part in mouseMoveEvent. Previously mouseMoveEvent is calculating the new rating based on current hover rating, which should use the current rating instead. And the logic is hard for people to interpret without comment. Thus, this part of code is refactored to be simpler and more readable with comment.
