Description mindrones 2010-05-13 13:16:27 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

- in konq:
  - settings -> save view profile "file management"
  - in the popup:
    - shift-F1 to see what's "save URLs in profile"
    - help was missing, clicked on the link to report missing help
    - this opened thunderbird
    - inserted a help message and sent to quality-whatsthis@kde.org
    - bounced back from MAILER-DAEMON@ktown.kde.org

SVN commit 1127903 by aseigo:

removing KWhatsThisManager because:

* it was being sent to an email that bounces; demonstrates we don't care quite enough to keep it going in practice
* it installs an app-wide event filter and ends up filtering every event the app received; while not hugely significant, its still one more bit of overhead
* it shows up in non-KDE apps via the Qt platform plugins, which is quite innapropriate, and in 3rd party KDE apps which can't really be of use; there is a technical solution to this (check for a KComponentData and that the bug reporting address points to bugs.kde.org), but combined with first two reasons, it seems more sensible to just disable the feature than invest further in it

While I see that the problem is fixed from a developer's point of view, shouldn't also that e-mail address be made to work again?

The address now works again. Mails sent to it are forwarded to me and I will forward the submissions to the appropriate application maintainer. According to David Faure: "Actually quality-whatsthis used to be an alias for the mailing-list
kde-usability-issues@kde.org, but then that mailing-list was discarded for lack
of activity..."
