Current status of Kickoff/KDE 4: Bugs and missing features (indicated with a '-') are listed in priority order for each category. ================================================ Favorites View + Works - Favorites are not remembered correctly between sessions when Kickoff is run from a Plasma applet - Missing drag and drop of items from other views into favorites - Missing drag and drop re-arranging of items Applications View + Works. + When KDE 3 and KDE 4 versions of an application are available only the KDE 4 one is shown. - Oxygen application category icons are not shown next to categories My Computer View + Works. + Uses Solid to query devices and respond to addition or removal of devices - Folders are currently opened in Konqueror. They should open in Dolphin Recently Used (History?) View + Works - Missing a suitable icon for the tab Leave View + Log-off, Shutdown and Restart work - Sleep, Hibernate do not work - Log-off, Shutdown and Restart show an unnecessary confirmation dialog which gives users the Log-off/Shutdown/Restart choice again - Missing icons for the Sleep, Shutdown, Restart actions Search View + Application search by name, generic name or keywords works - Strigi search doesn't work due to a Strigi problem which Jos' is presently fixing * The other search handlers that query Bookmarks, Contacts etc. should probably be shared with KRunner. This needs mailing list discussion. Presentation + When used as a Plasma applet the Kickoff window does not appear and disappear smoothly. (Works okay when standalone Kickoff application is run) [Also Performance?] - Missing the custom QTabBar styling to draw the view names under their icons and draw a pretty gradient - Missing the "username on computer" text - Missing the branding logo + Experimented with multiple columns in the Favorites/My Computer/Recently Used/Leave views. Performance: - Scrolling up and down in the application view is not as smooth as it should be in some categories. Perhaps an issue with icons from certain sources? - When opening a previously unopened application category there may be a slight delay and HDD activity causing the scrolling animation to have few frames (the animation duration is not affected) - Currently no delayed initialization is performed. The data required for all tabs is loaded on startup, except the application view where only the root branch is loaded initially.
