Bug 194172

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.85)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In 4.2 quicklaunch plasmoid could be configured by setting number of rows and columns. Now in 4.3 this has changed - the new options are icon size and another icon size, so number of rows/columns would be calculated automatically depending on the plasmoid size.

I suppose this is ok for the users, who have this plasmoid on the panel, but for my personal (probably not so popular) usecase (I add it not to the panel, but directly to the desktop - see attached screenshot) this brings sensitive inconvenience while trying to set its size.

To understand what I mean, the best would be to try to put plasmoid on desktop and to try to make it look like mine on the screenshot (in short, once plasmoid is narrowed with mouse, the icons also become small, but when the plasmoid is stretched back, the icons remain small and try to layout in multiple rows).


So, I see 2 options for feature request:
1. Return rows/column config options (not to replace existing size, but allow to switch between those 2 different layout policies) - so the icon sizes would follow the plasmoid size and would always lay in one row.

2. Do not make icons smaller, than the specified in the config dialog icon size, when resizing the plasmoid with the mouse - this would also put a constraint on plasmoid minimum size

Thank's
