Hi all, First of: I have been a big fan of kbibtex and have used it for many years. However, since the move to kde4 I have grown to dislike it more and more. The UI takes a lot of getting used to and particularly the whole kde-integration is in my oppinion just horrible.
That second bit is for the most part because I don't use kde. I really like applications that make use of Qt, but some of them - including kbibtex - try to use so many of kde-specific bits that it really hampers the usability. One thing for instance is that kbibtex seems to launch some kind of audio-control (no idea which part of kde this is), so now I keep getting sounds blasting over my speakers whenever there is a popup or message. This is very annoying and something I cannot disable from the settings. So I would need some kde-specific control panel or w/e to turn these sounds off. All this is imho just a lot of bloat that really has no business in a decent application like kbibtex. Especially if you want to have the application somewhat portable for people on other systems/DEs to use I would really recommend against all this kde-integration. regards, Alexander ps; I really don't know too much about the internals of KDE, I haven't used it in about 4 years, so maybe it's all just really simple to disable or I have no clue as to what developing Qt-apps entails. To me these bits just seem really unnecessary for an application like this and I hope someone can give me some advice as to disabling or circumventing these issues. ps2; about the UI: I will probably just have to use it more. Just glad to see that pubmed search works again (Version 0.4-beta1 in debian sid).
