*** Bug 259952 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback. |
Version: 1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux When saving or loading a file kde dialogs show >Home to refer to the users home folder. Most unix systems put the users' homes in /home/username. Hence ">home" is both confusing and annoying as it looks like it should refer to "/home/" rather than "/home/username/". Acceptable solutions would be "> Home folder" or ">home>username" but what is wrong with "/home/username"? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: In and kde 4.4 app save or load a file, the users' home directory appear as ">home" Actual Results: In and kde 4.4 app save or load a file, the users' home directory appear as ">home" Expected Results: The user's home should appear as "/home/username" or "~username" or anyone of the correct ways to refer to this path instead of the incorrect and confusing ">Home" OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35.4-12-desktop-matt Compiler: gcc
