Feature added by: Mark Pirnie (markcynt) Feature #308522, revision 1 Title: Blacklist Updates openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Mark Pirnie (markcynt) Description: Users should have the ability to blacklist an update and never be reminded of it again. This can be done to an extent using the terminal but that's not perfect either. Because of this I have uninstalled the Updater applet and now use strictly zypper to run updates. The Updater applet will be promptly uninstalled by me on all versions of openSUSE until this feature can be added. Keep up the good work openSUSE team! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308522

[New: openFATE 308346] Make notifications work even after evolution window is closed
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 12 Jan '10

Feature added by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Feature #308346, revision 1 Title: Make notifications work even after evolution window is closed openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Atri Bhattacharya (badshah400) Description: Evolution has a notification-plugin that currently is supposed to work only when the main window of evolution is running. After closing the evolution window one does not get notifications for new mail arriving, even though he/she might have selected the check for new mail every X min option. The feature request is to make the notifications in evolution work even when evolution is closed (Ctrl+W), so that the system tray icon shows up whenever evolution knows of arriving new mails despite the main application not running (evolution-data-server still running in the background). Thus, firstly evolution has to have knowledge of incoming new mails despite running only as a background service, and second, the notification-icon must show up whenever new mails are detected (as configured). This way users will get notifications for new mails without having to run the main app window all the time. This happens for alarms for events set up in evolution currently. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308346

[New: openFATE 308471] KBasic

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308471, revision 1 Title: KBasic Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: I also added this as a desired package for openSUSE-11.3, being not certain where it belongs: https://features.opensuse.org/308466 KBasic is a programming language which is simply intuitive and easy to learn. It is a new programming language, a further BASIC dialect and is related to VB.NET™, Visual Basic®, Visual Basic for Application® and Java™. It combines many features of those tools and comes with built-in backward support for those tools and QBasic® as it is 100% syntax compatible to VB6, VBA and QBasic®. A web page with more information on KBasic to assist in any evaluation as to whether it is worth the effort to include in openSUSE package: http://kbasic.com/ (http://kbasic.com/) A big advantage is its reasonably similar look/feel will mean users migrating to openSUSE Linux from MS-Windows will be more at home with a programming language reasonably similar to what they are used to. Also, independant of what ever one may think of users migrating from a "Redmond" based operating system, in my view openSUSE needs a basic visual programming language for all openSUSE users who want a simple programming environment. It does not matter how the users arrived at openSUSE, nor where they originated from. openSUSE needs such a user friendly programming language environment. This kbasic package can provide that environment. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308471

[New: openFATE 308559] KDE Desktop Folder Bar

Feature added by: John Palmer (bugreprt) Feature #308559, revision 1 Title: KDE Desktop Folder Bar Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: John Palmer (bugreprt) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Right mouse click option to turn on and off the bar on the KDE Desktop Folder Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 99% of the time I enter the Desktop Folder is to run an application therefore having the bar appear every time is most annoying. For me it spoils a fantastic desktop environment! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308559

[openFATE 307476] Make WebKam or any other KDE webcam client work

Feature added by: Manuel Ramirez (elpreto) Feature #307476, revision 1 Title: Make WebKam or any other KDE webcam client work Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Manuel Ramirez (elpreto) Description: KDE don't have any other webcam client (at least i don't know about other one), and WebKam is not working in openSUSE, since a lot of notebooks comes with integrated webcams, is really bad to don't have a software to use the webcam. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307476

[New: openFATE 308470] Default console IRC Chat pointed to IRC freenode #suse
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 09 Jan '10

Feature added by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Feature #308470, revision 1 Title: Default console IRC Chat pointed to IRC freenode #suse openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) Description: Have all fresh openSUSE installs include an already configured console IRC chat program (irssi, weechat or more user friendly text chat program if available) with default config file already setup to point to freenode to IRC#suse. The intent is that if the user finds themselfs stuck in run level 3 (with internet access) with no GUI they will have an option to type the chat program via a single command, and then go to #suse for support. There would need be some design work to ensure this functions, with some way of telling new users this program is available when they find them selves suddently at run level 3 (or at a gui broken run level 5). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308470

[New: openFATE 308614] Using UI for customization

Feature added by: Allan Andersen (swoopdk) Feature #308614, revision 1 Title: Using UI for customization openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Allan Andersen (swoopdk) Description: Hi openSUSE folks In general it's very easy to cutomize my KDE interface with openSUSE but there's room for improvements. Why hide features away when it better can be done from a UI window? Direct openSUSE issues: 1) GRUB, possible to change GRUP images from a simple KDE interface without need to fumble with konsole. 2) Bootsplash, possible to change bootsplash images from a simple KDE interface and also see if changes done acutally works (a preview without rebooting). KDE on openSUSE issues (perhaps needs to be coordinated with the KDE team): Would like to see an easy install and administration of below like it is today with KDM themes or KDE icons: 3) Styles 4) Fonts 5) Window styles 6) Screen savers -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308614
