KDE4 Makes Me RAGE
Fri January 9th, 2009 at 12:13 AM PST
Alright. Now that I've got KDE 4.1 running, I've decided to keep a running list of all the things that are wrong with it, in particular, all the things that are a step backwards from KDE 3.5.

I'm going to try to keep this organized by app.

If you think I'm wrong on any of these, or they get corrected, or you think anything needs to be added, please comment on this post.
  1. General
    1. What's the KDE4 video player, or do I have to use Kaffeine/KDE3 (and thus have it not be integrated with everything else)?
  2. Amarok 2
    1. What happened to "Various Artists" and how do I get tracks to be in there again?
    2. What happened to the ability to stop after a track?
    3. What happened to the ability to queue tracks for playing in any order?
    4. Can I get rid of the ugly middle pane? (all I need are the left-hand tabs and the track listing)
  3. Plasma
    1. Why can't I make an external taskbar?
    2. Why can't I stack panels?
  4. Dolphin
    1. What's the point of having a separate file browser when Konqueror does the same thing?
    2. Why doesn't Dolphin support KIOSlaves like everything else in KDE so I can browse remote filesystems (oh wait Konqueror does that just fine).

I'll add to this list as more things frustrate me.

What OS are you using? Are you back to openSUSE?

@423: openSUSE 11.1 for now, but I've also got it running on FreeBSD 7.1
