Don Nguyen <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Don Nguyen <[email protected]> --- > But I agree that Dolphin should not show an empty dock widget (upon pressing > F4) if Konsole is not installed (thus I'm changing the title). I'd like to present some options related to the Terminal Panel when Konsole is not installed and give you my analysis. 1) Do not show the Terminal Panel option in the menu when Konsole is not installed. 2) Disable(gray out) the Terminal Panel option in the menu when Konsole is not installed. 3) Pop up an information dialog to inform the user that Konsole is not installed when the user tries to invoke the Terminal Panel. 4) Display a message inside the Terminal Panel indicating that Konsole is not installed when the user invokes the Terminal Panel. Option 1 hides the fact that we have this feature if Konsole is not installed. Option 2 shows that we have such a feature but does not tell the user why it's disabled - the user will have to search for why this is disabled. Option 3 gives the user information about this feature and why it's missing and how to enable it, but it seems a bit intrusive to me. My preferred choice is option 4. It mimics normal behavior except that instead of having a working Terminal Panel, it lets the user know why the feature is missing and how to enable it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
