1. More modular - basically in Kubuntu, couldn't remove anything (games, image viewer, etc.) without removing the whole KDE. It's annoying to have all the junk there that you woun't use. 2. Better support and management of themes / backgrounds / fonts 3. Krusader included - file managers like Norton Commander, Total Commander and Krusader have been the biggest productivity increasers in the past 20+ years. 4. GUI Firewall included - e.g. FireStarter - when the firewall app is included by default...
Most ex-Windows users switch to Ubuntu atm., that's where the issue is... users would need a solution that just works and allows them to remove the stuff they don't need, without having to hack the core KDE files. I mean seriously, the default KDE install comes with like 100 applications installed by default in Ubuntu.... that is scary for a first time user.
Well I don't like Gnome, I like KDE... and it should be better!
I have a hard time understanding why I can't for example remove a game from under Add/Remove in KDE without having to remove whole KDE... that doesn't give the feel of freedom where you HAVE to have all those programs installed. Even Windows allows users to remove separate applications.
Are you hinting I should start renaming the programs after installation? oh wait, maybe each user should compile their own kernel and build their own distro, how's that for an idea?
When add/remove software is searching for something, user is unable to click the stop button (disabled), until it starts finding and listing results, which kind of makes it half useless.
To get new users to adopt fast, relative names would greatly increase the ease of learning: "Calculator" vs "Speed Crunch" "Char Select" vs "KCharSelect" "GroupWare" vs "KDeGroupWare" etc. I mean, first time I isntalled Linux and went through the menu, it was like: KtNef, KSig, Kjots, KitchenSync, KArm, KAlarm, KTimer, KRegExpEditor, IRKick, Kfloppy, KPilot, Kandy, KFontView, EmbedjS ....and I was like: wtf I look at my Windows start menu and I can pretty much understand what every item does wit...
Is there an opensource project like the PDF Editor by cadkas.de on Linux? Where one can actually edit text in existing PDF files. Please let me know - I'd like to support such project financially.
OpenOffice crashes when trying to open MS word file (which was created through exporting in Adobe Acrobat 8 a PDF to Word document.)
I guess it's an existing Linux users vs newcomers from Windows thing - those two things were a bit of an annoyance to me as a previously Windows user. I'm used to backing up important files myself on Windows.... as far as I can remember never had a situation where I would have needed a text editor's backup function in 18 years of PC usage. The accessibility features put in to by default support of a minority of users, could be negative features for the majority of users who don't require them!? ...
ah ok, thanks for the info
I'm not saying my setting suggestions are the best, but imho they are the easiest on the eye, they're similar to what MS uses in default system settings and they've got a lot of human eye research behind their designs. Default setting suggestions are (1024x768 resolution): toolbar hidden, have to currently hide it in preferences for the setting to be saved action toolbar hidden, have to currently hide in preferences for the setting to be saved default icon size 16 default font size 9 selected ba...
Suggestion of setting the default setting to not having the current selected line of different background color (light blue) - it's harder for the eye to grasp. Also, would like to suggest text editors not saving backup files by default - just clutters things with two of every filename.
I'm running 1024x768 resolution, most popular resolution atm. - all system fonts were size 11 (if I'm not mistaken) with the default settings.... imho that's too big for the human eye to grab effortlessly, Windows has size 8 and I'm sure they've done a lot of research in MS on what's easiest on the eye so smaller default font size would be my suggestion.
Would like to suggest hotmail/yahoo/etc. webmail support for Kmail - maybe using the same plugin that Thunderbird uses.... Kmail GUI imho looks much better than Thunderbird, only reason I had to choose Thunderbird was the webmail.
Not sure if the package updater software is under KDE project, or if I should post it on Fedora forum, but the suggestion is to have some additional information about the available packages, e.g. what features they add/fix or if they're a low/medium/critical security update, etc. something like http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/
Hello, first post on the forum, Desktop Linux user for about 2-3 weeks now. Wanted to make a suggestion about having the possibility to add/remove separate applications under kdegraphics instead of installing all of them - I only need the pdf viewer as gsview turns pdf documents 90 degrees to vertical position for some reason. And all those KcolorEdit, Kruler, etc. are pretty much useless clutter which takes time to manually remove from the menus or slows the adaption to Linux for new users who ...
