The bug is still new. I'll be somewhat disappointed if this doesn't make it into KDE 3.5 ;)

Sounds like a great idea, is it in the KDE SVN already? You might want to consider contacting a developer (or bugs.kde.org) for this.

I really love it to be a default thing for KDE. (especially considering the fact you already did the coding :-))

here are the ebuilds:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=25622
look at the comments please

You said you tested it on gentoo. Is there an ebuild?

soya's putting one together, well as soon as (I've got to the bottom of all the bugs).


To test with KDE I have done the following:

installed KDE 3.4.1-r1 as usual,
then
emerge kde-libs
and CTRL+c after ./configure has run
do the same with kde-base

then apply the patch to kde libs and kde base in /var/tmp/portage/kde-libs-4.3.1-r1 and /var/tmp/portage/kde-base-4.3.1-r1

then

make install kio in kde-libs
make install kcontrol in kde-base
make install libkonq in kde-base

There was a problem with a missing header (I forgot to note which one), just cd into the directory and
make nameofmissingheader.h
then start
make install .. again.

First of all gonna thank your quick work/updates.

then, libkonq compiles well, kcontrol now gives this error (also want to say that i've could activate the option load icons on view and i think it's very unstable, it makes konqueror crash sometimes. also someone times it can't determine which icons are in view and load the hardly all icons in view except someones):

I've noticed that it sometime doesn't find all the icons in view (SFAIK this is a kde bug, since it seemed to be better in kde 3.2/3)

I haven't had any crashes though and kcontrol starts fine for me.

I used kde-base 3.4.1-r1 to test the patches.

I've also just find a crash problem, with view in view only, clicking refresh causes a crash. I'll try to fix this soon.

With the udate now kdelibs compiles well, kcontrol also compiels well like before, but libkonq still fails to compile. this is the error:

this should now be fixed.

I'm using gentoo so i wnated to do some ebuilds, i've done them.i've divided the two patches in three, one for libkonq another for kcontrol, and the other as it comes per default only for kdelibs.
kcontrol have compiled well. but kdelibs whose patch i didn't touched give me a compile error.

Someone can help? i have the full compile logs. ALL PATCHES WERE APLIED PERFECTLY.

The problem should be fixed with the -0.2 patches.

The first was caused by comparing a non-pointer to NULL, the second was caused by kdebase needing kdelibs to be installed first.

This first problem is 'caused' by an update to the QT libraies (or maybe gcc). the compiler isn't picking up qstring = "this is a char *" properly,
but this is easly fixed.

either use a cast to (char char *)
or string = new QString("this is a char *")


I'll find out what's causing the second problem as soon as my system updates finished.

I'll recheck the patches and make sure nothing had been missed.

I'm recompiling kdevelop at the moment so it may be a little while.

it got my 20 votes :)

im actually surprised that this wasnt already done in konqueror. it just seems like the common sense way to do it.

does this make any difference on browsing though?

only if you have previews turned on for FTP.

I have some other plans to sort out browsing but there going to take a while to implement...

Things like if a page hasn't been viewed for an hour put it into cache to free up some system memory.

So you really *like* that behaviour? It's one of the things I hate most in Windows...

huh? What exactly don't you like? Loading thumbnails? If so, your complaint is with KDE, not with this patch, which increases the perceived speed by loading the thumbnails for the files you are actually looking at instead of in alphabetical order from the beginning.

If thumbnails must be loaded, a patch like this simply has to go in. Bravo submitter.

> loading the thumbnails for the files you are actually looking at instead of in alphabetical order from the beginning.

Exactly that's what I don't like. I finde it very annoying if the thumbnails load when you scroll in the window. Takes too much time! I like to have the thumbnails loaded at the beginning when I open the folder - all of them. Scrolling then is *much* faster (means: without the patch)!

But that's not how konqueror works at the moment. With or without the patch the same amount of time is spent loading thumbnails (well unless you selected to load only those in view).

All this patch does is change the order in which the thumbnails are loaded, putting those icons in view at the top of the list.
If you change the view port say by scrolling then a moment afterwards the icons will be re-orded so that those in view are loaded first.

Because it takes a moment, the order will not be updated until you stop (or pause) you scrolling.

So it is a permanet update of the loading order when I scroll (the ones that are in the viewed window and then the rest alphabetically or whatever the sorting of the folder is set to) until all thumbnails are loaded? And the rest of the thumbnails is being loaded in the background as it is now?

That would be ok - to me it sounded like the Redmond way of loading the thumbnails, which really is very annoying: the thumbnails viewed are loaded and only when you scroll the next viewed are loaded.

Yep, that's the way it works.

There's also an option to load only the icons in view because currently if you fire up 3 or 4 konqueror file views all those view will attempt to load all their icons at the same time, hogging CPU and memory resources.

but this IS really cool, makes konqi feel faster...

diffs will be necessary to be able to review your changes (which i'll do as soon as there are diffs =)

as for the option, i don't think we need more options. things like this tend to be either better or worse, configuration is only necessary if its worse ;-)
