Re: [trinity-devel] R: [trinity-devel] TDE kftpgrabber and kasablanca FTP clients - connect, but no file list ever retrieved
I understand your frustration Darrell, and no you are not being mean. You are apparently taking the information I am posting in a way other than it is intended to be received.
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours trying to resolve bug report 1842. The Help button code is in place but the button does not appear.
Not to mention that the default size of the list box window clips half the text to be unreadable.
After several attempts to patch with my awful C++ skills, I walked away in frustration. Then I asked myself: Does anybody use this low quality garbage? Who actually writes such crappy software? Is there a reason why such apps never were pulled into the main KDE trunk? Why are we supporting junk? Why do people use such software and then pretend the app is not half broken?
This is what I mean by "chicken shit" bugs. These kinds of bugs never should exist in the first place.
Today I asked myself, Why am I spending time on junk? Stop building the crappy stuff and the problem goes away. Nobody else seems to care that this grabage is broken, why should I?
The real problem is my standards are too high. I need to learn to accept that three round wheels and one wheel shaped like an octagon is "good enough."

From a non purist perspective I've lung agreed with that mentality.
I love konqueror, and I also don't need yet another client for yet another protocol.
We had a similar discussion about media players. My feeling is that it is hard enough suppirtung one client, that any more is more trouble then it's worth.
Reducing the number of crappy applications would do Trinity good imho On Feb 18, 2014 5:19 PM, "Darrell Anderson" darrella@hushmail.com wrote:
