Description Filip 2009-05-03 09:51:23 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

Some KDE apps would do better in Windows-world if they were individualized. A typical windows user, in my opinion, doesn't download a name of a project to try a bunch of apps. He wants a browser, or an editor, or... 

The kdewin-installer-gui is too all-in-one for this.

Not that I want it gone, no way, I like it *thumbs up* to check out how the kde on windows project has come.

But I think a lot more people will try "Konqueror" or "Kate", if they are able to do the following:

When I go to http://www.konqueror.org/ I should be able to download a standalone .exe that contains all files needed to install konqueror, like I would install Firefox or so.

Sure, a link to the "Getting KDE" should also be added, and a warning that it's all in a experimental state...

The standalone installer should have a update-check function to see if your installer is up-to-date :)

If the user chooses to download the all-in-one installer later, it should see all the standalone apps.

(maybe a promotional text and link about the kdewin-installer-gui before you click Finish)

I've submitted this report as an bug because i think it is the GREATEST bug on the windows platform concerning KDE :)

PS: If the KDE team already planned to do this in the future, I apologize for not being able to sit still (and type a ton of crap on your bug reporting system) :) keep up the good word people :)

Yes, when I installed Konqueror 4.80 I ended up with a whopping install of 462MB !? Most other Windows browsers amounts to somewhere between 32MB - 75MB. Voted for this one too...

The KDE Windows Bugzilla product is no longer maintained.

If you have issues with some application on Windows, please report the issue at the bugtracker of the application.
