[Bug 281834] Re: KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps
GTK+ should provide sensible desktop integration, not the desktop toolkit integration. Please elaborate on that statement. It seems that GTK+ is the language that the application is written in, and it is up to the desktop environment to make that application fit in to the rest of the desktop. In fact, that is exactly why KDE was founded: to provide a common look and integration with the existing applications. Expecting _every_application_ to implement every desktop's tools is ludicrous. Rather, it is up to the desktop to provide integration with the limited number of common toolkits, such as Qt and GTK. -- KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 281834] Re: KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps
The problem with the GTK file chooser is that for user coming from windows, they not only wonder why the picker is different, but also why the shortcuts are no more here... And I must say, even for me it cost a lot of time to search for the right folder on gtk picker, when I've configured all the shortcurts I need under KDE... To manage my places on both is also not a good solution... I tried to look at revu.ubuntuwire.com, to look if someone allready proposed kgtk as package, but ubuntu is currently frozen, so they won't be any kgtk under jaunty ;-( -- KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's not so much that the file chooser is foreign, it's that it's clunky and not as configurable as KDE's. I'm a naive just-use-it computer user and I'd love to see this implemented. -- KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I should stress that this is a usability issue. The inconsistent File Chooser dialogs confuse users.

[Bug 281834] Re: KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps
I must say i'm with Dotan on this one. it's very annoying to have such inconsistency. a person who chooses to use KDE, is using it because he thinks it's better than GNOME. he prefers KDE over GNOME means he likes QT apps, he likes how things work, and like the KDE file chooser! but unfortunately, one passes across a lot of GTK apps, and i expect that these should follow the rules and looks of my favourite DE, KDE! -- KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 281834] Re: KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps
The link that usr provided (KGtk) is, by it's own description, a quick- and-dirty LD_PRELOAD hack that allows some Gtk applications to use KDE's file dialogs when run under KDE. Therefore I agree that KGtk is a great place to start from, but more work needs to be done. Also, it should be included in Kubuntu by default. -- KDE File Chooser for all GTK apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281834 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
