Opening terminal from Album List opens Terminal in background. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click an album 2. Open Terminal 3. No terminal is visible on the screen leaving the user confused. Actual Results: Terminal is opened behind the Digikam window Expected Results: Normally, when you open a program, it is opened in the foreground. This is also the default behavior when opening other programs from inside other programs in KDE. For example: opening dolphon from Konsole by right clicking and selecting Open Folder.
Hi Thomas On my system, ff you already have a terminal open, it will open it in background. Otherwise it will open a fresh terminal in the foreground. Is it the case with you? Or it opens in background only irrespective of anything? Also, can you share your OS and KDE version? Smit
I can reproduce the problem on my system, with KDE 4.8.2 The way to open konsole is delegate to KDE of course. Note that problem is not reproducible if you want to open in File Manager (Dolphin here)... Code relevant is here : Action from GUI : https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/main/digikamapp.cpp#L803 Slot connected to open terminal : https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/views/digikamview.cpp#L1073 Note : Open terminal use KToolInvocation::invokeTerminal() and Open In File MAnager use KRun(), both from KDE API Gilles Caulier
