Description Dick Gevers 2007-01-27 23:27:03 UTC
Version:           1.0-0.rc5.1mdv2007.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs0
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.2-0.20070115.1mdv2007.1 
OS:                Linux

I use k3b most commonly under GNOME. The following also applies under xfce4. I could not reproduce it under KDE4, but that is not a stable WM on my Mandriva Cooker box (KDE 3.5.5. contains only the most basic stuff required for other apps, like k3b, hardly enough at the moment to run a full KDE).

I start k3b with 'Last used settings', so k3b starts in directory ~/foo in which I usually have files pending for my next burn (when there are enough to fill a disk). But 'foo' contains subdirectory 'bar'.

If I look with k3b in the local file dalogue subwindow and click on bar, and if bar is empty the cursor will display a "please wait" ring that is circling (formerly an hourglass), as though k3b is searching forever to find any files inside directory 'bar'.

This is reproducible every time. I would expect k3b to simply dislay an empty window, devoid of files, and not the cursor that shows it is "making up it's mind".

This continues for many minutes if left alone and only disappears after a long time.

It's not a serious thing, but it's not correct, IMHO.

Happens both in 'short view' and 'detailed view', and continues when switching from the one to the other.
