Regarding the recent work on https://blog.broulik.de/2025/05/kio-goodies (thanks for it!), I would like to point out the "Do not ask again" checkbox is ambigious. It is not clear to me as a user whether when checked, I won't be asked again about that specific file or if I will never be asked that question again for any file. If the former, the text should be "Do not ask again for this file". If the former, the text should be "Do not ask again for all files". Both are longer, but it seems there is enough place in the dialog at least in English (not sure about other languages). However, as of now, I never use this checkbox because I do not know what it will do. Additionally, if this is not per file, maybe it should be per file (or both). To me, setting this per file is a lot more useful, because with different files, I want different default action. This is also somewhat related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190238 which also makes me try to avoid checking the "Do not ask again" checkbox. However, I do not at all call for removing the checkbox, I think it is useful to a lot of people. This applies at least to these two dialogs (called ExecutableFileOpenDialog ): https://blog.broulik.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot_20250512_162135.png https://blog.broulik.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot_20250512_162152.png
Agreed. The scope being unclear here makes it a potentially dangerous setting, I'd even say.
Looks like this was just solved, no? https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1893 That was quick, thanks!
Yep!
