Description Hadacek Nicolas 2004-02-13 01:46:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

When selecting a .tar.gz file in KFileDialog, a warning is displayed on the console:

QMetaObject::findSignal:KFileDetailView: Conflict with QListView::doubleClicked(QListViewItem*,const QPoint&,int)
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

this is harmless but probably indicate some problem with the code ...

The problem is this: we need to determine, whether to show a
preview for audio files or not.

See KFileMetaPreview for the (indeed non-optimal solution):

[if no other preview provider was found]
    if ( s_tryAudioPreview && 
         !mimeType.startsWith("text/") && !mimeType.startsWith("image/") )
    {
        if ( !haveAudioPreview )
        {
            KPreviewWidgetBase *audioPreview = createAudioPreview( m_stack );
[here we have aRts and mcop and all the good stuff...]
        }
    }

The problem is, that you need to load up aRts in order to check which
filetypes aRts has support for...

The checks for !text/* and !image/* were only the first two
most obvious mimetypes to prevent loading up aRts immediately. Checking
for audio/* was not a solution either, IIRC (due to several mismatches).

Are these warnings a bug???

Arts is no longer developed and has been unmaintained for quite some time - more than 2 years. With phonon as the replacement for arts in KDE4, we're closing out all the arts bugs in Bugzilla since there is no chance of them being fixed.

Thanks
