Description Andreas Sturmlechner 2013-06-08 20:31:27 UTC
Every time I access the network inside dolphin, it complains that "KDE has been built without Zeroconf support." Unfortunately, it won't go away no matter what, it reappears as soon as moving to the next network directory. Here are three scenarios I can think of:

1.) The power user:
"I am well aware of that, now go away, please."

2,) The regular user without specific knowledge:
"OK, but it works, so what do I miss? Could something break?"

3.) The beginner for whom everything has been taken care of so far:
"What's that? Did I do something wrong? Help!"


-) A simple notification that indicates possible missing functionality should probably not appear in red, and it should be gone for good once it was read and closed.
-) If instead it is of such importance that every network operation triggers it anew, I would probably like to know more about it - be more descriptive or provide a link for further info.
-) Besides, the "close" icon inside that red notification bar says "Close document" which seems a bit odd.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the bug report. I guess that these error messages come from the "network:" kioslave.
Comment 3 Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2013-06-10 17:38:08 UTC
Hi,

seems that is rather from the zeroconf:/ kio-slave, see http://lxr.kde.org/source/kde/kdenetwork/kdnssd/ioslave/dnssd.cpp#164
Comment 4 Frank Steinmetzger 2014-06-18 12:00:13 UTC
IMHO, if a function is not working due to missing dependencies (which may actually be by choice), then the user should not be bothered with a non-working UI, especially if it's a non-vital, non-core feature.
