If I understand correctly, that's a really bad ID usability-wise. You show a preview and remove the dialog the user is operating on under his nose. If a preview is needed (and I seriously doubt that), then the way it was previously is much better than all that dynamic UI stuff, because it doesn't require the user to understand a new dialog when the preview appears, so less context switching. A tooltip, or something like that might work, though, and is a much more common metaphore for previewing something. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
