Hm, when I wrote this text yesterday I thought about the battery plasmoid in more detail, and I came to the conclusion that it can't be meant seriously. Therefore I thought it would be OK to write it that way. Seemingly I was wrong in this point. Sorry.
No problem.
Furthermore I'm not sure if the duplicated bug report is going into the direction of KLaptop. Doesn't seem so. They are not discussing a steadily progress bar. But if I would join this discussion it could get very long. It's better for me to wait some months. Maybe in the meantime another developer writes an alternative plasmoid addressing my issue. I think that's more likely than fixing the default battery plasmoid.
It might not be in the same direction, but it does seem to address the issue.
Kmail and Dolphin have tree views.
OK, that might be. I'm not familiar with them. I'm going to test them in the next days.
Thanks. If you file a bug, please send me the number so that I can triage. Or if you want me to file it, let me know what you find.
Thanks, Stefan. You really have an eye for details, please keep me update with them of file them! But just remember when filing that the devs demand a very factual style, please don't give them a reason to evade the bug with sarcasm. Have a great week!
Yes, I try to get rid of my personal dislike of KDE4 and I will be more careful when filing bugs in future.
Keep hating it! Just let us know why, so that we can improve! Actually, I think that KDE 4.3 should finally be "not hatable" for most KDE 3 users, but I really, really need to hear from those who continue to hate it for sound reasons.
