[Bug 227829] New: New kicker's history seems to be more of a second favourites tab
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227829 Summary: New kicker's history seems to be more of a second favourites tab Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de If one has started the items in the history often enough, new items do not get added to it. As the tab is named history, this does not make sense, as the frequency of usage should not be a criterion. History should simply display the last few applications that were started via the new kicker and the most recent on top, i.e. be consistent with a browser's history. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I used the "most often used applications"-option for the normal kicker before, so that might still be in the configs. Yet as those settings are greyed out, i.e. not changeable by the user, while using the new kicker, they should not interfere with it, or of course be changeable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This requires your manual intervention. The advantage is that you can also influence sorting in the favorites tab. however, I sort of agree that this should be more obvious to the user. I've currently no idea how to do that though. perhaps the easiest is to add an "overflow area": the last 3 items that couldn't be added to the history. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If it is meant to be the way that one moves those one uses most often to the favourites tab this still does not solve the problem of them occupying slots in the history, as the same item can be in the histroy as well as in the favourites. Why not simply make it a history? If the application is used freuqently, it will not vanish from it anyway but just move one slot down every time another one is started. If the user does not like that, i.e. wants to have the item in the "favourits" rather than the history, one can move it. Having a plain history does not prevent the user from moving items to the favourites tab, neither does it prevent frequently used applications from always being in the history tab. To me it seems that the current history is just a duplication of the favourites, lacking the features of an actual history. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
