A screen cap of the dialogue window as it is currently

This one (introduced with SC 4.6, it was fine in 4.5.x) bugs me on my 13" notebook, too. The size of the dialogue is fine on a 15" screen (or bigger), but for smaller screens there must another solution (maybe make the preview optional?). How can this bug be marked as UNCONFIRMED?! Also, Cyril, it has nothing to do with the screen size -- it might have with the screen vertical _resolution_, but I'm not sure the dialog can really get larger (higher). It looks like it's "by design". I'll attach the following: copy_overwrite_1.png -> This is how the "File already exists" dialog is currently in KDE 4.6.x and 4.7.0. The icons are huge, but no details are in sight. copy_overwrite_2.png -> In order to reach some relevant information, one has either to scroll down on *each* of the two files in conflict... copy_overwrite_3.png -> ...or to enlarge the dialog manually. Actually, _this_ is the way this dialog should have shown up from the very beginning! Created attachment 62552 [details]

Hi all,
I confirm the bug exactly as it has been reported: reproductibility (always, any distribution, any hardware), birthdate (arrived in 4.6), degree of annoyance (major).
This is a small regression amongst many progresses from 4.5 to 4.6, but can really get on the nerves when doing punctual file management.
I'll be eargerly waiting for the bugfix. ^^ Thanks for your hard work all ;)
Best regards,
Laurent Lacôte
*** Bug 284161 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 271554 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Todd? I just saw in the commit log that I actually had this reservation about the patch (reviewboard 3674), that it makes scrollbars appear by default. Can you have a look? I thought there was a GSOC project that completely overhauled this dialog. So is this issue still relevant? Yes this is still relevant for KDE 4.x The GSOC project will only be merged into KDE Frameworks 5. Alright. As I said in the review, I didn't know how to make sure it was larger, which is why I didn't do it. The behavior is the same as the previous version. This should really be fixed before another KDE SC release. *** Bug 292889 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This is fixed in KDE 4.8, right? Yes, it still has scroll bars, but the important parts are visible without the need to force a bigger window size (which I did as a workaround), look at the screenshot.

Copy dialog in SC 4.8
Now the problem seems to be that, sometimes, after the window expands to show the contents, the edges of the window end up off the screen.

Another problem with the present window is that the size changes, sometimes when you're about to confirm the operation. It's inconvenient to have the button you're about to click move away from your mouse. The situation where I need the information in the window is rarer than the situation where I just want to confirm. More so when I'm moving to a kioslave that doesn't support information display (the information on the local file is as good as useless if I don't get the information about the remove file as well). Milko, please do not add more issues to existing bug reports. What you see has already been reported as bug 299501 and bug 275112. Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45. |
Created attachment 56933 [details] A screen cap of the dialogue window as it is currently Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux When performing a file operation (in Dolphin, for example), user is presented with a dialogue box entitled "File Already Exists", asking what to do. In my case, the files both have icon previews, but those are all I can see unless I expand the window or scroll down. After the dialogue is dismissed and the operation continues, when another conflict occurs, the dialogue is presented back in its original size, necessitating the resize again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Copy or move a file into a directory containing a file of the same name. The behaviour is exhibited both in Dolphin and Konqueror, and presumably any other KIO-using app dealing with files. Actual Results: See attached screencap, please. Expected Results: I would prefer that the window be sized initially to display such information as size and date, or that it retain the size previously set by the user (by dragging the window edge). It was suggested by sreich of Freenode that I grep for the dialogue title. I hope these results are of assistance (from kdelibs package source): kio/kio/paste.cpp: i18n("File Already Exists"), kio/kio/copyjob.cpp: i18n("File Already Exists") : i18n("Already Exists as Folder"), kio/kio/copyjob.cpp: err != ERR_DIR_ALREADY_EXIST ? i18n("File Already Exists") : i18n("Already Exists as Folder"), kio/kio/global.cpp: errorName = i18n( "File Already Exists" ); kio/kio/renamedialog.h: * The dialog shown when a CopyJob realizes that a destination file already exists, kio/kio/job.cpp: job, i18n("File Already Exists"),
