Description Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri 2004-09-25 02:38:59 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hi,

KOrganizer is missing a basic functionality: when I want it to set up a sound alarm/reminder it should just toggle the button visually (or even better, make it a checkbox) and not open a KFileDialog with a non-sense directory.

Also, as in other bug report we should have sound theme or at least a "Configure Notifications" to configure this kind of thing.

As for now, could you please set the KFileDialog to a sane sound file? So I just have to press "Open" and not browse for a sound file every time.

So... any comments on this? yes, no, maybe... ?

The file selector now goes to a good default (KDE's sound directory).

"Also, as in other bug report we should have sound theme or at least a "Configure Notifications" to configure this kind of thing."

Yes, PLEASE!

Here's the deal: I have a bunch of monthly and weekly recurring reminders set in KOrganizer.  When they go off, the daemon pops up a dialog to remind me, but instead of playing a nice sound through the sound card, it beeps the PC speaker!  Ugh!

So I went on a wild goose chase looking in the Control Center->System Notifications dialog, and in all the menus and settings in KOrganizer, expecting to find a standard dialog for setting the default sound for when a KOrganizer alarm goes off.  But I found nothing.

Finally after searching Google and reading a years-old mailing-list post, I found that you have to set individual sounds for individual alarms, in *addition* to the dialog popup.

Wow.  That just doesn't make any sense at all.  Very un-KDE-like.

Please add a standard KDE System Notification for KOrganizer reminder dialogs.  This would make using KOrganizer much more pleasant.
