The reason why I suggested doing it like we do with Plasmoids is simply consistency. The more knowledge users can transfer from one area to another, the better. Undoing an uninstall should not be such a common thing (unless you are a user who constantly clicks the wrong things), so I believe that consistency is more important than comfort. That said, Marco's suggestions makes sense to me as well. It would look similar to the Plasmoid mechanism while keeping in the same place. The downside I see is that if one clicks uninstall, closes the widget explorer (because one thinks the task is complete) and in the next split second realized "Oh fuck, that was the wrong one!", it's too late. With a notification, one has much more time to undo the action. - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
