2006-05-30 02:13:07 Brian Ealdwine description The sidepanel metabar could be really nice. But some very basic behaviors (easy to say while I'm not implementing it ;-) are lacking. 1) In Media:/ and possibly in /Media/ or whatnot at the right mountpoints, highlighting (like with a dragbox or by clicking, if single-click is off) should provide disk usage information, like the meta tab in properties. 2) Highlighting a file with the dragbox, and then selecting it otherwise does not work. 3) The sidepanel metabar could be really nice. But some very basic behaviors (easy to say while I'm not implementing it ;-) are lacking, and there are some ui bugs (I think). 1) In Media:/ and possibly in /Media/ or whatnot at the right mountpoints, highlighting (like with a dragbox or by clicking, if single-click is off) should provide disk usage information, like the meta tab in properties. 2) Highlighting a file with the dragbox, and then selecting it by clicking (or right-clicking) on it does not bring up info in metabar. 3) Highlighting a file (or files) with the drag box does not bring up info in metabar. 3) It would be nice if I could highlight a group of files (photos for example) and have common options appear in metabar (gwenview or whatnot). I'm pretty pleased with how Dapper's turning out. Hehe. I just thought someone ought to know this. :-)

But some very basic behaviors (easy to say while I'm not implementing it ;-) are lacking, and there is at least one UI bug. (#2 makes it impossible to see metadata on an item given the default values for clicking and selecting: single-click to open on, select-on-hover off) 1) In Media:/ and possibly in /Media/ or whatnot at the right mountpoints, highlighting (like with a dragbox or by clicking, if single-click is off) should provide disk usage information, like the meta tab in properties. 2) Highlighting a file with the dragbox, and then selecting it by clicking (or right-clicking) on it does not bring up info in metabar. 3) Highlighting a file (or files) with the drag box does not bring up info in metabar. 4) It would be nice if I could highlight a group of files (photos for example) and have common options appear in metabar (gwenview or whatnot).

2007-02-21 00:19:57 Yuriy Kozlov kdebase: statusexplanation Thanks for your report. I'm confirming this because these features are missing in Kubuntu Feisty/KDE 3.5.6, but I can't reproduce the "bug" parts of your report (#2 and #3) so I think those are fixed. If you are interested in getting these features implemented, your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you submit a specification for it. First check whether the idea is already registered <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs>, and if so, contact the specification's drafter about your ideas. Otherwise, you can start writing a spec yourself. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications> It may also be helpful to file these bugs upstream at http://bugs.kde.org If you do, please link them here.

There is no metabar at all. Closing bug report as invalid for now. Should it be reintroduced and this report is still valid, please reopen it. Thank you.
