The lost data, is what really annoys me. New features are meaningless in the face of lost data.
This phase of upgrade seems to be displaying what I think of as a 'over-maturity' on the part of the KDE team, gratuitous featureism.
The shift with baloo from "index only what I say" to "index everything except what I say" seems nasty minded and out of touch with users.
Breaking some thing as essential as kmail is another example.
But though all this is the obsession with indexing. The code for this is hard coded into so many components. I think that is very wrong-minded and backward.
I'm not OCD but I don't need this search; I organise my files sensibly, isn't that what a hierarchical file system and long names is for? Have these guys never heard of the term 'taxonomy'?
part of the attraction of the old knotes was that I could arrange my notes in a heairarchy. Have we now lost that? The help fcility is more useless than normal and seems to think that we deal in just one note at a time. More 'out of touch with users'.
Yes I know how to disable indexing. My point is that I don't want the code; it adds complexity and hence the potential for flaws to many situations where its not needed.
If you are going to make use of it then at least make it a plugin.
Fixing the problem of knotes incompatibility and getting my lost data back is all well and good, but why the **** did you produce code that cause it to be lost?
Regular readers will know that I've supported KDE4 though its infancy when many others decried it, and was great to have it mature, but now, well there are terms like "jumped the shark" or "nuked the refrigerator" which apply.
I completely agree. I like KDE, but it has strange custom to break things on upgrade (often related to PIM, which is... ehm... making users very angry) and to release important software too early before they are ready. Why? Why, oh why? I also have to say, that several at least 4 upgrades of KDE and openSUSE were perfectly smooth, so that I didn't expect big issues with this one...
