In the latest version of ktorrent the number that expresses the percentage of progress of a torrent has been replaced by a line that I find totally incomprehensible and unusable. How do you understand if the progress is 99.8% or 100%? Should I use a ruler on the monitor? Who hates so much the numbers and math to operate such a choice? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a torrent with ktorrent 2. Wait for the torrent to start 3. You can not know the exact percentage of progress of the torrent; you can only have a very vague idea Actual Results: An incomprehensible and unusable line under the column of percentage Expected Results: The percentage as a number
KTorrent hasn't changed since years. What you might have changed is the widget style (say, from Oxygen to Breeze). Can you try a different widget style?
Today I tried ktorrent in Kde. I see a blue line, followed by the percentage. This is ok. But I always use Gnome, and if I open ktorrent in gnome I only see a green thin line, and no percentage after it. If I enlarge the field, only the line is enlarged, and no percentage is shown. Note that, if I select the single file and choose "File" on the bottom, the total percentage is shown selecting the "File tree" mode, but in the list of file at the top no percentage is shown (unless I'm using Kde instead od Gnome) Note that until Fedora 21 I always opened ktorrent in Gnome viewing the percentage, and not the advancement line.
As a workaround, you can force using the KDE widget style even when run from Gnome using "ktorrent -style Oxygen" command. There is nothing ktorrent developers can do if the GTK styles the Qt libraries emulates hides the percentage texts.
Perfect. This works fine. I changed, in /usr/share/applications/kde4/ktorrent.desktop, Exec=ktorrent %i -caption "%c" %u with Exec=ktorrent %i -style Oxygen -caption "%c" %u and the style is as on Fedora 21, with percentage shown into a blue line. Perhaps ktorrent have a problem to find a default theme out of kde? But so it works.
If I do dnf remove adwaita-qt4 the command ktorrent works fine, as ktorrent -style Oxygen Then, the problem seem to be adwaita-qt4, if installed, and if ktorent starts in Gnome...
Then please report this issue to adwaita-qt4 developers. https://github.com/MartinBriza/adwaita-qt/issues
