Description macias - 2007-10-06 16:25:49 UTC

It does not have even anything with smart behaviour -- it is common sense.

If version x.y has feature A, and user turned it __OFF__, when upgrading to x.y+1 and feature A exists here, __DO NOT__ turn it on because:
a) it is better
b) it is safer
c) it is nicer
d) whatever

And of course it this feature was ON, keep it ON. User is just upgrading her/his system, it is not opportunity to teach her/him how to use computer "properly".

And another reason is quite simple -- it is a waste of time, user already spent some time polishing her/his system, I see no point to forcing her/him to do it again.

Spotted so far:
1) Konqueror start page is changed
2) Preload is changed

3) KMail favourite folder is turned on
4) KMail toolbar is changed (however size and placement are preserved)
5) boot options -- and this is dangerous (thus setting severity to Major), upgrade deleted my previously settings which prevented immediate shutdown, there is a report about this issue, nevertheless such behaviour (changing options for booting) can lead to data loss

6) tip of the day turned on again (in KDE)

Comment 3 Cyril Hrubis 2007-10-08 19:35:48 UTC

Because almost all bugs are KDE related this will be send to KDE developers. Please open new bugreport for any problems that aren't KDE related and keep policy one problem per report.

7) printer is removed

7 things changed/missing, 4 of them are KDE related (this is hardly "almost all"), but ok, however I have question.

Should I really post each report for each point -- so for now it would make seven reports? Please confirm and I start posting, no problem.

Comment 5 macias - 2007-10-09 13:17:23 UTC

Cyril, I am adding new points just to remember them, ok. When you confirm I should split all those points into separate reports, I will do it.

8) xkb layout is removed
9) fonts are changed/removed

Comment 6 macias - 2007-10-09 13:22:27 UTC

Changing to invalid and start posting.
