Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) Installed from: Gentoo Packages An application which couldn't be launched because of an error should give the user a proper error message instead of annnoying the user with 30 seconds (or whatever your timeout is) of launch feedback. Examples: running amule in the cmd-line when amule is already running results in: $ amule Initialising aMule Checking if there is an instance already running... There is an instance of aMule already running Raising current running instance. This message should see the user. A wrongly linked app results in: Could not find libxxx.so Could be useful for the user, too.
still there in KDE 4.5.1. I find the current behaviour very annoying.
Lauch feedback has no timeout for failed app and disappears almost instantly - and there is no error message Plasma: 5.12.3 Apps: 17.12.3 Frameworks: 5.44.0 Qt: 5.10.1 Kernel: 4.14.27-1-MANJARO OS: Netrunner Rolling
Yep.
