As for the second... Personally I'd quite like this whole idea to just go away, i.e. return to KDE 5.22.4 behaviour and leave service-menu (de)compression as an unobtrusive background task. As an added bonus, reverting this whole can-o-worms is likely the quickest and easiest solution as well. Frankly I don't see how raising/focusing/opening file manager windows/tabs like this will be anything but an irritant to the (desktop) user, and if focus-stealing after a background job really is the goal here, I'd _very_ much like to see an option (ideally in dolphin) to turn it off. Focus stealing is, after all, evil incarnate. We already have a notification system for notifying about background jobs, why not just use that instead of all this buggering about trying to pick a window/tab/yak to raise and somewhere sane to put yet more options? As Luke suggests above, all it really needs is an "Open Containing Folder" button for compression operations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
