Yep, that's the old sidebar module not being removed from your home dir...

It's not supposed to show up there anymore
The new way to see the history is Go / Show History.

But this bug is valid indeed.

Comment 4 giuseppe 2009-08-28 22:28:57 UTC
Ok...but is very ugly
i prefer the old module.
Comment 5 Steven Schwartfeger 2009-08-29 04:09:14 UTC
For any users that don't mind compiling a small plugin, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193966#c15.

This will work with version 4.3.0; after 4.3.1 people would in addition need to compile konq_sidebar.so with the commit that closed this bug reverted, and add to ( /usr | ~/.kde ) /lib ( | 64 ) /kde4.
Comment 6 David Faure 2009-08-31 21:18:30 UTC
How about we work together on making it "less ugly" rather than reviving the old sidebar module? That sidebar module was 1) hard to find 2) very limited in width so it's inconvenient to use because you couldn't see much of the urls and titles.
Comment 7 giuseppe 2009-09-01 00:10:24 UTC
Limited probably..but easy to find,
and work better than new module(i
talk about the search function).
Comment 8 Steven Schwartfeger 2009-09-01 05:31:28 UTC
The thing I dislike about the new setup is simply that it opens in a new window, rather than in a "tab"... they are identical other than that, except the new window doesn't open or open in new tab on left or middle click. I don't mind the width issue myself, I just drag the pane wider for the occasional time the start of the url is not enough. As for "hard to find", only for new users, if the developers like the new setup and it makes it easier for new people just go ahead with the new version; the patch in the other report was just for peope like me that don't mind compiling a few plugins locally, at least until it gets a bit more complicated, by then the official version might do enough of what I want.

Unless you are asking me to somehow make a version of the new window that can be embedded in a tab or pane?
Comment 9 ash 2009-09-03 19:25:00 UTC
proposed new history panel - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206155

will it be usable for you ? does it solve the problem cause of which the side panel was removed in the 1st place ?
Comment 10 Steven Schwartfeger 2009-09-04 06:01:33 UTC
For me, yes; the only thing I dislike with the current version is being unable to put it in the sidebar / panel / whatever you call it. All the new features sound nice; not sure if I'd use all of them, but choices are generally good, IMHO :-).
Comment 11 Tanja Schulte 2009-09-18 16:26:52 UTC
The history should go back into the sidebar. It's more convenient to use, it's where the user expects it so better to find, it doesn't steal desktop space, the URLs are better visible. In the new history panel I cannot see the full URLs or address names without having to resize the history window every time because there is no horizontal scrollbar and most links of one place beginn the same. I cannot open the links in tabs. 

And the window always is either in the way or not reachable - no matter what you want to do, it always requires extra action. When I open a sidebar the fullscreen browser area resizes to give space for the sidebar. And it resizes back to fullscreen automatically when you close the sidebar history. With a history window you have to resize the browser manually to have both windows side by side and have to reresize it when closing the history window. It's more than inconvenient.

Nothing against improvements for the module itself but the sidebar just is the best place for the history, I had it open most of the time and used it a lot and it didn't come in my way like the new history which I just don't use because it's far too long-winded and unhandy. Extracting the history from the sidebar is a great loss of usability for konqueror so I now test opera which has a sidebar history. But I hope konqueror which I like better will get the history back into the sidebar, at least as an option.
Comment 12 Mario 2009-10-07 12:07:51 UTC
I don't understand what 'fixed' means.
I have update to kde 4.3.2, but the bug is always there.
Comment 13 David Faure 2009-10-07 15:20:51 UTC
Fixed because there is no more useless icon in the sidebar, and the history is available as Go / History which shows a dialog. This still needs to work to make it nicer, but the actual bug (the useless button) is fixed.
Comment 14 Mario 2009-10-07 16:25:29 UTC
Yes. But what can I do with the dialog?
Open a new window for any link???

Thank you very much, but if this is all konqueror can do, I will switch to some other browser.

The sidebar history module is back - now based on Pino's nice history model + proxymodel.
