If it's a portable HD, I'd expect mount, unmount, open in file manager X, disk manager Y, set user rights etc. options.
Mount and unmount are there. For the rest, please comment nicely here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224056
If it's a media disk (CD, DVD), I'd expect options to open it with/in a media player of my choice.
KDE 4.4 does this.
If it's a video camera, I'd expect options including video import and editing.
I do not have one to test with, sorry.
And so on.
Keep going, then.
And no, the popup on plugging things in is not enough, since it only shows on that occasion.
Use the Device Notifier plasmoid, that is what it is for.
On a Qt4 only system (no Qt3) KDE 4 really, really flies. In fact, that was the design goal of Qt4: lower resource usage.
Does it require less/less advanced CPU? Less memory? ...?
The whole system is more responsive, so my guess is memory. Very little lag compared to KDE 3, especially with many applications open.
Yes, OpenOffice is unfortunately bloated, and Firefox could certainly do with getting slimmer yet (including/especially for LTSP purposes...).
OOo 3.2 is supposed to start in half the time that 3.0 did, and Firefox 3.6 is supposed to be slimmer so long as one does not use Personas or whatever the new themes are called.
So a lot might be won getting KDE to slim down.
Try it with no Qt3 libraries! You will be surprised! -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
