Bug ID: 498745
Summary: In file properties dialog, print start and end of
hashsum instead of cutting it, if window is not wide
enough
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Properties dialog
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ash...@linuxcomp.ru
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
In the file properties dialog in the Checksums tab, if the width of window is
thinner than the length of
sha256sum digest length (64 symbols), then it is shown unintuitively. It just
cuts the end of the line.
Let's say the sha256sum of some file is
7a6a86097f479b6b8e4eaa163ecc2871264c9c9c4e78b458a0e1ee5c79a5e40c
In usual situation, when the window is wide enough, it is displayed as
expected:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ md5
│
│ sha1
│
│ sha256 7a6a86097f479b6b8e4eaa163ecc2871264c9c9c4e78b458a0e1ee5c79a5e40c
│
│ sha512
│
│
│
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Now, if the window length is thinner, it may be displayed for example like
this:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ md5 │
│ sha1 │
│ sha256 7a6a86097f479b6b8e4eaa163ecc2871264c9c9c4e78b4│
│ sha512 │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This confuses the user, because they want to compare the beginning and the end
of line. I.e. the user knows what hashsum
is expected (from the file download page), and remembers the start (7a6a) and
end (e40c). But when they do check, they
see "7a6a" at the beginning _but_ something unexpected from the middle "78b4"
instead of end.
What I propose instead is that the line is squashed (with three dots) in the
middle, and user could see the actual ending of
the hashsum. Like this:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ md5 │
│ sha1 │
│ sha256 7a6a86097f479b6b8e4e...e78b458a0e1ee5c79a5e40c|
│ sha512 │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
