Btw, perhaps we could give the DrKonqi dialog a slightly cuter look with a sad Konqi in there, or so, similar to our about dialog. The current heart monitor icon we currently have at the right is a bit dated.

Review request for KDE Frameworks, Plasma, KDE Usability, and Martin Gräßlin.

By Kai Uwe Broulik.

Updated Dez. 29, 2015, 9:19 nachm.

Repository: plasma-workspace

Description

This adds a new "--passive" option to DrKonqi where it will only show a StatusNotifierItem rather than bringing up the crash dialog right away.

This can be useful for auto-restarting shell services (like plasmashell, krunner, kded) to improve the perceived quality of the product.

On Windows RT, for example, the guidelines even explicitly say "rather just dump the user on the home screen than telling him something went wrong, so he can just quickly start the app again instead of being annoyed by an error message". On iOS you also just get dropped on the home screen. Windows desktop shows a "Searching for a solution" dialog which was the major annoyance when something crashed, rather than the actual crash.

Testing

I crashed plasmashell, it restarted so fast that you didn't even have a black screen inbetween, just the panel restarting. Afterwards I got a SNI which opened DrKonqi when tapped.

The SNI disappears after 1 minute because if you didn't bother to look after it by then, you probably forgot what you did to cause the crash anyway :)
