This is a little list of proposals. What do you think about? Thanks, regards. 1) Samba and share folder: In Dolphin, in a folder's menu, the option "Share folder" doesn't work because the package "kdenetwork-filesharing" is not installed. It's necessary to share folders via Dolpin. The bug is filed in launchpad but it's not yet fixed (LP bug #402015, #209873) 2) artwork: We are asking for artwork in Kubuntu like other distro have. A not invasive artwork, in according with the default style of KDE, but at the same time a brand for Kubuntu. Only simple work: * Kubuntu-Icon for kickoff; * Kubuntu logo in KDE Splash; * Kubuntu Wallpaper branded with Kubuntu logo. * Kubuntu logo in kdm; 3) artwork for folder icons in the home directory: The oxygen icons "music","video", "documents" and "my pictures" exists and are in the oxygen-icons package. Kubuntu doesn't use them by default. It's a good idea to use them for a more positive user experience. Those icons are useful to identify quickly the contents of the home directory. 4) Dragon player is only a video player and it lacks many feautures like show subtitle. Kaffeine is a multimedia player, it has more important features, for example dvb tv tuner. If it will be complete for lucid, it's important to include it by default. And why not the major Open Source media player in the World? I mean....VLC. We know it's in Universe but there's nothing you can do? About this, the political of Kubuntu is sometimes a bit strange, Firefox is not written in Qt so " you can't add " it in the CD, VLC is in Qt but it's in Universe, KPackageKit is in Qt but is not ready (it's never ready, it's not usable and has always many bugs) but you added in the CD when synaptic is always the best for now (but it's in GTK), knetworkmanager is in Qt but it lacks many feauture. 5) in dolphin, nepomuk's search bar is too large. A small bar is nice. 6) video preview in dolphin by default 7) add desktop icon (link) in dolphin resources bar 8) Many windows have strings cutted, so more care on which dimension windows are showed in the default installation 9) same above but for the notifications pop up. 10) The window dialog where you have to insert your password to run applications with root privilege, is always showed minimized in the task bar, instead of beeing showed in first floor 11) An empty plasma folderview doesn't make sense. It shows now Desktop folder, but it's empty, if it shows the home folder maybe my mother can understand the purpose of plasma foldeview. Please consider the purpose of folder view. For istance, it can show applications link in Desktop folder or the home directory. But an empty folder view doesn't mean anything, more, if you don't understand how to populate it....remain just a beauty square in your desktop. 12) Video preview in dolphin by default, please use ffmpegthumbs, it's in kdemultimedia now and it's in Main.</body></html>
