If it isn't broke, don't fix it. The current behaviour is fine, reproducable and absolutely not confusing. An up-button that tries to be "smart" would be the worst of all possibilities. Even the Google-Toolbar adds an "up" button to IE, so quite obviously there is demand for it on all browsers. Please change to WONTFIX This is dumb. I don't like having an up button in web browser mode, but the solution is really simple. Separate the toolbars for khtml and file manager mode. At the moment they both share the "main toolbar" that doesn't change between modes. So if you take out the up button in browser mode, it is no longer there in file management mode. This is annoying. Make the toolbars for these two modes completely separate so it is easy to remove the up button from konqueror web browser. That's it. No need for complication. I assume we are talking about options for a first-time install. Else, it doesn't need to be addressed, since the up button (more generaly, the whole layout) can be adjusted to your desire. Then just save the settings to the "Web Browsing" profile. I did this once to show a friend on IRC that konqi could be made to look as simple as mozilla/firefox. Bah, sorry. Forgot to mention something else. If it is changed, perhaps we add another drop-down menu (oh no) near the "Underline Links" and "Animation" options of the 'khtml_behavior' kcm module. Possibly consisting of "None" -- basically removing the Up button from the Web Browsing profile "Simple" -- traverse directories only "Old method" -- current "Smart" -- whatever algo can be considered truely smart. Of course, providing more in-depth information in the What's This. A kde-usability prefered method probably would be to just have a checkbox toggling the smart method. Just want to mention that I like and use the up-button in web browser mode. I really don't care if the up button is removed from the default webbrowser layout as long as I can still add and use it. Gee what is so bad with that button? If you don't like it, dont click on it... Besides, things like bug #8333 are more important, IMHO. I do like the up-button for web browsing. But what I wish it would do, is when you are at http://sub.sub.domain.com/ with no subdirectories, clicking the up-button would take you up the subdomains, ie to http://sub.domain.com, then to http://domain.com. I think that's intuitive. I also use the up button regularly. I found this bug while starting a bug/wish for moving up through sub-domains. We should not have to click in the address bar and backspace through the name to go from bugs.kde.com to kde.com. Is this an advanced feature? Probably. Is that one of the reasons I like KDE (plenty of advanced features and perfect configurability)? Absolutely! I also would like to see the up button go from http://sub.domain.com/ to http://domain.com/ *** Bug 57033 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
