Bug 87490

Point 5 is done (not in KDE 3.3.)

Point 6 can only be done by using the rgb.txt of X.org. However putting it in kdelibs potentially creates a conflict with the licenses allowed in kdelibs. (I have not checked and I do not know exactly the X.org license (neither the old XFree one, where the file comes from.))

Have a nice day!

Thanks for fixing point 5
********
NEW
Point 7: the window is not resizable. Should more comfortable to display a long list of colors, and more consistent with other KDE windows. (wish)
********
About point 6, I don't understand some things.
The actual pot file contains 223 colors
Kcolorchooser contains about 400
rgb.tx contains about 705

I cannot explain why rgb.txt has more entries than Kcolorchooser. I Thought Kcolorchooser took dynamically its list in rgb.txt

In rgb.txt, many colors are duplicated (YellowGreen / yellow green). Is one enough ? Which one ? any ?

Should we add some entries in the pot file until 400 or until 705 ? In any case, it would be easier to use a script to do it.

Not sure rgb.txt should be in kdelibs.

The problem is the same with timezones : we simply add manually the new entries in pot file.

Colours with spaces are skipped. Colours containing "grey" or "gray" are 
skipped too.

No, it is not the same problem. Currently the colors are created from rgb.txt, 
however from the version on Scripty's computer, which has seen is not the 
version of X.org (or the corresponding version of XFree.)

Have a nice day!

KColorChooser is not in kdelibs (or I would have moved the bug myself.)

As the problems in kdelibs, they are the minority in this bug.

Have a nice day!

Is this still relevant to recent KDE version?
If not please close the bug.

Thanks,

Lex.

Well... Not really many bugfixes on this program.

Translated named colors work now, but still no help, no resizable window...

I have no problem with spaces nor with grey names.

Thanks

Could someone fix the mess with this report -- one report = one issue. Here it is not the case, so it is best to close it as INVALID, or focus only one ONE issue which is I believe point 6, which is fixed (correct?) thus this report can be closed as FIXED.

To summarize the handling of this report:
1° there is no bugreport button
Confirmed in 4.7.0, dup of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275977
2° when using bugreport system, this program does not appear in the list
Confirmed in 4.7.0, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250467, closed with resolved/invalid
3° the help button leads to nothing
No Help button in 4.7.0
4° There is a question mark for "What's this" help, but no help exists anywhere
Confirmed in 4.7.0
5° (the worst) the translation mechanism of the named colors broke the ability to choose a color. When you choose a translated color, it is black.
Fixed
6° the list of the translatable colors in incomplete
Fixed
7° the window is not resizable.
Confirmed in 4.7.0, dup of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275976

The bug as it is reported is fixed by comment #5.
