Description Dennis Lubert 2006-09-19 11:52:49 UTC
Hi,

with one of the last kde 3.5.4 updates a new disk space notifier seemed to be enabled. Beside that I nowhere immediately could find a configuration of it, it annoys me in the following ways:

Every N minutes (for some unknown N) a dialog pops up, asking me if I want to start konqueror, or abort. When I leave the computer for a while, several of such dialogs need to be closed. Then, if you check the "dont ask me again" box, and hit abort (i.e. "I dont want you to ever ask me again nor start konqueror") it nevertheless pops up the next time. Then I accidentally clicked the "start konqueror" button, with the checkbox checked. Now every N minutes, a konqueror is started out of nothing. That is annoying as well as konqufusing, especially for those who cannot remember anymore what they clicked last time, and that it could have a reason.
Suggested resolutions are: give the dialog a "never ask me again about this" button/checkbox behaviour. dont start the konqueror per default just out of nothing. At least show an information dialog "we have detected low disc space and start konqueror now". Best would be to make the configuration very easy to access, like an additional "configure disc space settings now" button. I am very happy with "only" 5GB free space, no need to clean up for me...

greets

Dennis
