SUMMARY

Sometimes things crash and sometimes several things crash more or less at once. It happened so recently for me when Dolphin's tag reader stumbled over several files, yielding roughly 30 crash icons in the panel. Please see the screenshot.

This is rather unpractical and pollutes the panel for no reason. 
IMO it were more useful to have only a single indicator with a subscript number of how many crashed happened.

In order to yet deal with the issues, the indicator could become a plasmoid, which when opening it, lists a summary of what crashed. Though I am not sure if this isn't already covered within the notification applet.

Nonetheless, I don't find the current solution optimal for the reasons given above.

Dear Bug Janitor  Bot, this is not about a crash!
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-06-05 16:47:41 UTC 
Yeah, this is a bit silly-looking. Maybe after a certain number of crashes (5?), DrKonqi could collapse them into one icon, and when clicking on it, it could open Crashed Processed Viewer instead of DrKonqi for a single crash.
