Dear PI Users,

I have some strange behaviour under KDE and Linux:

Take i.e. the "Image Integration Dialogue" in PI.
I can select several files for integration if I "click" each filename in the "file selection list"
with the mouse while holding the STRG oder SHIFT key (as usual),
but now every time I select a file name the "file selection dialog" is closed immediately
and the selected filename is put in the list. So I can no longer select several files at once.

This happens only with KDE, but *not* under the XFCE oder GNOME user interface ....

Due to bad weather in my region, I think, that this behaviour started with the latest PI Version.
But there were also some updates for the Operating System.
I have PI 1.6.9.652 (64 bit,  OpenSuse 11.3) and KDE 4.4.4.

Any idea where to change this ?

Kind regards,
Christoph




Kind regards,

I'm working on KDE (fedora 14), and I don't see that behaviour.

Hi Christoph,

KDE 4.4 is buggy. Can you update to 4.5? I strongly recommend you do so. KDE 4.5 is very stable and in the latest versions they have managed to fix (at last!!!) most cursor and icon drawing glitches.

I also can't see these problems on Fedora 13 and 14 with KDE 4.5.

Hi Juan,

thanks. I will update to the next KDE Version if it is available for me. In the meantime I will use GNOME or XFCE.

Christoph
