[opensuse-kde] kicker from build-service
Hello! I wanted to test whether some issues I had with 3.5.5 were solved in 3.5.6 and updated to the build-service version for 10.2. I noticed that in the new kicker, applications and history changed place. I might have been the only one, but I used the history more often than the applications-tab, since it is a very flexible "automatic/dynamic favourites" kind of tool. It made sense to me to have it as second tab, i.e. after the real favourites, since it should have a shorter way than the "all applications" tab, which is the last possibility and used only if one needs an application one does not use that often, i.e. did not find in the favourites, because one did not put it there and neither in the history, because one did not use it recently. A second issue I found is that the hover to open the tab seems to be a bit unreliable. Sometimes I have to click in order to open tabs, sometimes I have to wait some seconds, before it opens.

I think most will use applications more. I'm in favour of the change, which is of course also in 10.3 alphas. Happened to read a review yesterday where the guy wished that the tab-order was configurable. Might be something to consider, given this "controversy" about what's best practice.

I noticed this on alpha4 too. I guess it's related to making the tabs less "lively" than on 10.2 which I agree is needed, but on a4 it seems rather unpredictable if a click is needed or hover will suffice. So from time to time you'll sit there hovering over a tab for 4-5 seconds - until you realize; "oh, I need to click this time". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

This would indeed be the perfect solution. :) Since one can move items on kicker by middle-clicking them, I suggest the same for the tabs. That way one does not need a GUI and can still have the functionality.

Sometimes they were indeed a bit too lively, but if I had to choose between before and now, I would prefer the former.
