Description Whtyger 2022-04-23 11:58:28 UTC

SUMMARY
Progressbar dialog has got several glitches since I upgraded to Kubuntu 20.04:

1. It doesn't show full progressbar when its value equals maximum value.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Step 1: OBJ=$(kdialog --title "Test" --progressbar "Progress" 50)
Shows empty progressbar

Step 2: qdbus $OBJ value 0
Adds "0%" text to the right of progressbar

Step 3: qdbus $OBJ value 49
Shows almost filled progressbar with "98%" value - so far so good

Step 4: qdbus $OBJ value 50
Shows empty progressbar as after Step 1. Text which showed percents has disappeared

EXPECTED RESULT
Progress bar should be filled completely and "100%" value should be shown to the right of it.

2. Progressbar window ignores --icon option which works properly with the rest dialogs:
> kdialog --title "Test" --icon "globe" --msgbox "Message"
Shows message window with globe icon in the titlebar corner.

> kdialog --title "Test" --icon "globe" --progressbar "Message" 50
Shows progressbar window with some X-Window icon instead.

kdialog progressbar vs msgbox icon

I can confirm that icon problem is still with us. It's odd to see X-Window icon here.
However, I haven't experienced the other problem. The use of kdialog progressbar is too complicated for me, but I have produced a kind of template copied below from one of the examples of its successful use I've seen somewhere.
I don't know why but this doesn't work with ZSH shell although it works with BASH shell.

progress=$(kdialog --icon "globe" --title "Test" --progressbar "Starting...");
qdbus $progress Set "" maximum 4 > /dev/null;
qdbus $progress Set "" value 1 > /dev/null;
qdbus $progress setLabelText "Step 1/4" > /dev/null;
sleep 2
qdbus $progress Set "" value 2 > /dev/null;
qdbus $progress setLabelText "Step 2/4" > /dev/null;
sleep 2
qdbus $progress Set "" value 3 > /dev/null;
qdbus $progress setLabelText "Step 3/4" > /dev/null;
sleep 2
qdbus $progress Set "" value 4 > /dev/null;
qdbus $progress setLabelText "Completed!" > /dev/null;
sleep 2
qdbus $progress close > /dev/null;

I can confirm that progressbar now behaves normally in Kubuntu 24.04. Full bar is filled, text 100% is shown.
--icon option is still ignored completely, but that's another story.
This bug can be closed.
