[opensuse] Qt YaST: new interface?
Greetings, I must have had my old style YaST open and not realised that I pulled in an update somewhere/somehow. To cut a long story short, here is a link to a screenshot showing my new shiny (but unwanted) YaST interface that gave me a bit of a surprise this morning. http://imagebin.ca/view/SEatI52.html Before I open a bug report to whine/complain about the default colours and way the right hand pane jumps badly to a section when you click on the left hand pane; could anyone point me at the update that pulled this new interface in? And what I may need to do to revert it? I'm using 11.1 with KDE 4.3 from factory... -- “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.” ☘ Oscar Wilde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I see the same thing in 11.2/M6 from this am's update. But still has the same problem that I filed bug #521759->#525288. A selection in the left pane does not present that selection at the top of the right pane, rather displays it but position is relative to the previous display in that pane. My bug reported 13 July 09 is marked "Resolved" as a duplicate of bug #525288 reported 25 July 09 marked "Assigned". Note that widening the right pane makes the interface more "friendly". -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I was pointed to #535288 on IRC when I queried the new Qt4 interface. I've voted for it, it's a stinker to click on something and get something else. In addition I opened: Bug 532555 - new Qt4 YaST2 layout colour scheme is unusable Since I now know this is an issue with factory packages (The new YaST interface is pulled from KDE updates on factory) perhaps we should move any further mails to the factory list? -- “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.” ☘ Oscar Wilde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I am not attempting to hijack this thread but I am in no way comfortable with searching the (?)Bugzilla for reported/unreported bugs/features/whatever about "friendly interfaces" and "right[left]' panes". So, could you please let me know if the following "feature/bug" is under consideration and being acted on/ignored. In YaST2>Software Repositories list there is the massively large *left* column, which is 99.9% empty and which *cannot* be adjusted by dragging the separating column to its right-hand partner to the left in order to increase the size of the right-hand column so that one can read in full the details of the list of repositories shown (in the RH column). Has this deficiency been reported, and is anything being done to rectify this? If not reported could you please write a bug report about this? (I am using the 32-bit 11.1 with KDE4.3.)

Afaik, this issue is fixed for 11.2. I opened an enhancement request for this last year and I recall the issue being addressed in factory. -- “Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.” ☘ Oscar Wilde -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK, let's hope so. BC -- Insanity is only a state of mind. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
