  1. Re:Why? on Testing the KDE 4.2 Release Candidate, On Windows · · Score: 1

    <rant>P.S. Not to mention that somebody at kde decided that konqueror should be a web browser and not a file manager. I'll never understand this... from my perspective they had some software that was a very mediocre web browser but what was in my opinion, the best file manager in existence and they threw out the file manager. For one thing, those two functions should never be in the same software, you can thank Microsoft and leveraging its monopoly for that particular monstrosity, but something is obviously wrong with the kde development process if they're making decisions like this. It's no wonder that kde4 turned out so badly.*grumble grumble*</rant>

    konqueror is still a file manager, the only difference is that dolphin is the default one on kde4

  2. Re:Sounds Great! on Testing the KDE 4.2 Release Candidate, On Windows · · Score: 3, Informative

    unfortunately we don't have an ETA for porting konsole on windows yet, since windows doesn't have pty and we are only a handful of developer that work on the windows porting
    meanwhile you can try console2, it supports tabbing and transparency http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

  4. Re:euch on Review of KOffice 2.0 Alpha 8 – On Windows · · Score: 1

    It's great that they've made it to Windows, but it needs some polish. And how about a new theme too eh? Windows doesn't look like Windows 3.11 anymore, but this default theme still does. That's an easy fix that should be included in the next version.

    since it's so easy why don't you do that? unfortunately there a lot of dependencies in kdelibs like dbus, soprano, strigi etc.. most of these are mandatory but there are also other optional requirement that are checked at compile time, so we can't build 10 kinds of kdelibs(or package xxx) just to disable something it's like linux distro you can't choose to install qt4 with ssl support or without it but you'll get what's available

  5. Re:I stopped caring about Qt on In-Depth With Qt 4.4 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    libqt-mt is probably qt3 not qt4, but anyway qt4 provides a lot of things and nowadays disk space is not a problem, try to mix together gtk+libxml+webkit/gecko+many more things and you'll probably use much more disk space than qt4 with different api and with all kind of cross platform issue I don't understand your problem with windows, but qt4 isn't just c++, there are many bindings for python, ruby and even c# on mac os x qt4 looks good to me, there is even an alpha version of qt4 that uses cocoa instead of carbon

  8. Re:Sounds familiar on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 4, Informative

    well i think that kde 4.1 would be more suitable for the end user because a lot of great kde applications like k3b aren't yet ported to qt4, but kde 4.0 should be released soon so developers could port and test their apps in a stable kde4 desktop
