            Bug ID: 357375
           Summary: Improve type checking for varslots (soft / hard)
           Product: rkward
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: User Interface
          Assignee: rkward-devel@kde.org
          Reporter: thomas.friedrichsmeier@ruhr-uni-bochum.de

Summarized from discussion on mailing list:

--"Soft" warnings--
1. The warning symbol shown next to problematic objects could be repeated next
to / inside the
"Submit"-button.
1b. On pressing the "Submit"-button, there could be a warning dialog:
"Do you really want to do this?", with a "Don't ask again" option. This dialog
should specify where the problem is found (which varslot, which object/s), and
what it is (as already available per object).

-- "Hard" checks --
2. If allowing for hard checks, and in particular if we allow for hard
checks _in addition to_ soft checks, these should work by refusing the
object in question right away. Most elegant option might be by showing a
(closable but non-modal) pop-up notification.

-- Fine tuning --
3. Optional hard checking might need a little more control than a
single boolean. For instance, a plugin author might want to enforce a
hard "num_dimensions"-check, but only a soft "types"-check. So perhaps
the semantics would be hard_checks="num_dimensions classes types", with
either "num_dimensions" or "" as the default.
