Yeah, what the hack? This discussion has gone into "can we not just scrap 80% of krunner's usefulness, because, the name krunner indicates run, and these things don't start apps?". I see it as a minicli, and that is actually what it was before. Having a simple plugin mechanism for this kind of thing is awesome, and I wouldn't like to lose it at all, to a point where the "can we remove it suggestion" makes me wonder "what the heck are we thinking?". The user-revolt on removing something as useful as krunner will be rightfully and justifyable negative. The use-cases krunner satisfies are not just "launch apps" and "search in files or documents". -- 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
