Several days ago I upgraded to kde 4.6.4. This "upgrade" included the new kmail and the problems started soon after. First off my messages were not imported forcing me to do it manually. The process took several hours resulting in a slow, sluggish, and unusable kmail. Add to this the 18 akonadi related entries in the running processes. I find the new kontact suite too invasive, resource wasting, and unstable. It's not like kmail is overloaded. I have around 6k messages in various categories and ...
Quoted from "neverendingo" to make it clear, 4.1 is NOT the same as 4.0.4. And the plasma devs ARE listening, that's for sure. But if you really want to complain something, go to bugs.kde.org, and make a wishlist item. Serirously, can we stop this discussion on "the great disappointment"? You have the option to use whatever kde3-app you are used to inside KDE4. Please, the developers are listening. So, can we please turn this topic off and return to questions and support? Thanx, Ingo It seems s...
Quoted from "ImperfectLink" Sorry to interrupt the 'Whine Party' But I thought I'd point a couple things out. KDE 3.5 wont magically stop working with the introduction of 4. I'm by no means a KDE veteran (in fact I didn't care for 3.5 at all) but its hard to ignore the vision that is going into 4+. What seems to be an adverse move now has more longevity than the 'same ole' you guys are used to. It seems to me that 4.2 will be configurable to the point of being like 3.5. The KDE team is working ...
Quoted from "KDE4sucks" It looks like 3.x will be pretty much dropped when it's all said and done, so I either need to find an OS that's committed to KDE3.x, or change completely. Take a look at Sabayon Linux Think gentoo with an installer and update manager and package installer. It offers KDE4 but KDE 3.5.9 is well supported.
Quoted Originally posted by Someguyouknow I have been using KDE 4 as my main Desktop Environment since it was released and have not looked back. Sure, there many problems still but people should have known that going in. All in all, I am NOT disappointed. I like the direction it is headed. You will get all your features back that made KDE 3 so great. You just have to have patience. KDE 4.0 was a RELEASE VERSION that took over 2 years of development so there shouldn't BE any problems. It is an U...
One of the things I don't understand is the major praise for the "new" widgets. They were called applets in kde 3.5.x. but they're widgets under kde 4.0. Big deal. The name changed. Get over it and stop patting them on the back. I'll be impressed if they reach the point where kde 4 matches the functionality and configurability of kde 3.5. Until then, for me kde 4 will retain the title of "the great disappointment"
Quoted Originally posted by grissiom_lxy First of all, I'm *not* a coder, nor a developer. I'm just a lonely user. All the classmates around me are using Windows. So maybe there is some misunderstanding. I'm very sorry for that. I'm not sure what antares exactly mean as you said, but I know my idea solidly. So I just explain my idea below. If anyone disagree or feel misunderstanding, happy to discuss My idea is if one want to see the "desktop", he/she is going to use some "icon" or "file" in it...
Quoted Originally posted by grissiom_lxy Quoted Originally posted by antares ..., add a button to show the desktop... I'm very disappointed. If someone knows how to do it, please, post it. You needn't to add the "show desktop"button. If you press Ctrl+F12, it'll show you Your attitude seems to be way too common these days "I don't need it so you don't either" I wish people would realize that other software users do things differently, and what one user finds useless another user finds very usef...
Re: Lancelot menu - It's no better than the suse menu. As far as I'm concerned any menu that locks a user in a fixed size window forcing constant scrolling to find things is poorly designed and a total failure.
Quoted Ditch Plasma and replace it with Kde3.5.8 screen + kicker + menu + Qt 4 and leave the rest to Compiz-fusion with far more options. This would be great except for the fact that compiz-fusion is gnome oriented with kde reduced to an afterthought. Just look at the compiz configuration app. It's another poorly designed control panel similar to the images I linked in a previous message. Another constant series of icon and back button clicks. When Beryl was a separate project great advances we...
I have the latest "KDE Four Live" built by openSUSE which includes KDE4 RC2 running on one of my computers and it seems I have underestimated the degree of disappointment users can expect. Among my initial observations are: Desktop: No refresh in context menu, No desktop icons, Only option in "Configure desktop" is wallpaper selection, New widgets created behind widget selector, closing newly created widget kills desktop resulting in an all white display. Menu: Stuck with the poorly designed men...
I don't understand how KDE4 could be considered rushed. I started reading that it was in the planning stages over 2 years ago. As I see it, they took too long talking about it and set a deadline they had no possibility of meeting. This forced sacrifices compromises in functionality. Others were demanded by one particular over-rated distribution that seems to be exerting influence over a wide variety of projects. Making things simpler is a bad thing because it encourages laziness, complacency, an...
From everything I've read so far I have little doubt I will hate KDE4. In many ways it seems the developers have decided to go the way of gnome, dumbing down to satisfy those too lazy to learn. Just look at the system settings program that replaces kcontrol. This type of control panel was one of my major disappointments in the re-merge of beryl into compiz, and it's more distressing here. Why are the devs so set on losing ease of use and looking like gnome? Another annoyance is the menu created ...
