Description Thomas Domenig 2009-06-11 14:53:58 UTC

Version:           1.2.1 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-11-generic

I experienced this bug by applying following operation:

* I hade two instances of Dolphin opened
* In window A I did a rip operation from CDA to OGG to a NTFS partition
* In window B I did other stuff
* Suddendly I couldn't operate anymore in window B
* It happened to be that there was an alert message in window A placed in the background, which stopped the operability in window B

If it's necessary to disable an instance of Dolphin when an alert message in another instance appears, I would recommend to at least put the instance with the alert message in focus, so the user knows, why he can't operate anymore in instance number two.

I agree. Do you remember what kind of error message was shown in the alert? Per default Dolphin does not show any alerts and forwards the error messages as nonblocking text in the statusbar.

At first I've got to mention, that I'm using a German edition of Kubuntu. The error looks like this: "Berechtigungen lassen sich nicht ändern für {Filename}" In the title bar of the alert box stands "Information - Dolphin".

Let each DolphinMainWindow run in a custom process

A possible crash in one Dolphin window should not result in crashing
other Dolphin windows. Beside this it also prevents issues with
modal dialogs or notifications.
