Bug ID: 357893
Summary: Applications shouldn't override user-specified desktop
settings (style)
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
Somewhere after 15.12.0 release, kdenlive started imposing Breeze as the
initial style unless the user configured something else via the Style menu.
That's wrongful behaviour: the style menu provides a courtesy/convenience
feature to define a different style from what has been configured for the
desktop. Under no circumstances should an application second-guess the user's
preference in this kind of domain -- not if it otherwise has full support for
the various alternatives that exist.
The "Default" entry in the Styles menu should go back to the user's default,
not KDE's default. A application-preferred setting could optionally be provided
as "Factory".
It seems this was introduced in commit #eb36d846 .
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. deconfigure any kdenlive-specific setting for "Style"
2. install kdenlive git/master
2. start it
Actual Results:
Kdenlive starts up in Breeze if that style is installed.
Expected Results:
Kdenlive should start up using the user's style of choice.
NB:
The check (`if (!desktopStyle.isEmpty() && QString::compare(desktopStyle,
QLatin1String("breeze") ...`) actually takes no action if for some reason
`desktopStyle` remained empty, or if Breeze isn't installed.
