I wasn't aware that there are separate KDE4 and Trinity versions of the KDE applications. I've installed Amarok-Trinity now, and it works perfectly, just as it used to before I had to reinstall my Debian system, when I was still using KDE 3.5.10.
They are very different!!! How would they _not_ have separate applications?
When is comes to Trinit/KDE4, I thought of the desktop, not the applications. I wasn't aware that the KDE3 applications still are around. I had the impression that the Trinity desktop is KDE3 whereas the Trinity applications are KDE4, which are more advanced and better than the KDE3 ones.
(It's a pity that Amarok-KDE4 won't run with Trinity, because it's amazing! For instance, it will automagically download the lyrics of the song you're listening, and display it... This works about half the time, even for my non- mainstream taste in music...)
Amarok 1.4.10, running on KDE 3.5.10, does this. I haven't tried the Trinity one yet, but I would expect it to be the same.
Huh? Are you sure you haven't mistaken the version? I'm running 1.4.10 (on Trinity), and there is definitely no feature like that.
The mess with all the bugs I've encountered, seems to come from the KDE4 applications which are run under Trinity.
That has certainly been other people's experience, judging by this list.
I haven't read the archives.
The neat inclusion of the KDE4 apps in Trinitiy's menus gives the impression that the integration is meant to work fine; at least that's the impression it gave to me.
Do a little reading before installing?
What should I have read?
Perhaps the KDE4 applications should be placed in a separate menu hierarchy, or some warning message should tell the user that it's unsafe, when using KDE4 apps in Trinity.
There have been a lot of warnings on this list.
So Trinity users should be prepared for trouble, and not expect a stable system?
Those KDE4-menu entries introduce an element of bugginess, in an otherwise perfectly stable system. That's how it seems to me.
Happy bug hunting, Volker
