Version: 4.4 (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux File template .desktop files have only 2 entries with text: Name and Comment. The "Name" entry is used for the "New" menu item, and text in the "Comment" entry appears as a label in file name dialog. The way it chooses the default file name is ugly: it truncates the "..." at the end of the "Name" entry, to say nothing of translation teams who put a unicode ellipsis character instead of 3 dots (I know, they could fix it, but here is one of the weak points of the current approach). But the main problem of using the "Name" entry in 2 places is that you cannot have different translations. Read here for more on this: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-i18n-doc&m=127750010729111&w=2 I suggest to introduce 2 entries (in .desktop file) in place of the "Comment" entry, something like "DefaultFilename" and "FilenameLabel". Reproducible: Didn't try
Just looked into the code and saw a comment "// KDE5 TODO: remove the "..." from link*.desktop files and use i18n("%1...") when making the action." So it seems that changing the parsing of those .desktop files will break the API? And I am not in a mood of adding just another layer of compatibility: If DefaultFilename → use it. If not → use name. If not → use this. blabla
Is this still an issue with KDE Frameworks 5.44 or greater?
