Description bugmenot 2012-11-10 15:09:45 UTC

I like to have a passive, non-intrusive progress bar.

A combination of kdialog --passivepopup and kdialog --progressbar. For
example, when copying files with dolphin such a progress bar will be
used. I want the same for my own scripts.
 
I am referring to the progress display that folds into the desktop's notification area.

The D-Bus name for the service is org.kde.JobViewServer.

A Mailing List Thread question resulted in this feature request.

Reproducible: Always

I already played with the thought of adding this to kdialog but somehow the JobViewServer doesn't work properly here when I call it using qdbus, so no idea if it will work better when being invoked by kdialog.

It most certainly requires that the application using it stays around during the operation, i.e. not terminating right after the call like qdbus would.
kdialog could do that, i.e. staying around during the progress handling is what it already does when displaying the progress dialog
