Kontact (Akregator) and Flash

Thu Nov 26, 2009 5:37 pm
In Akregator I have all of my feeds so that the full website is loaded. Strange thing is that in the preview window any flash items such as video aren't shown. However if I open that feed in a new tab (not a new tab in Konqueror or other browser, but still in kontact) the flash items will be shown and I can watch videos.

Is there some reason why this is happening I would prefer to be able to just watch the flash videos right in the main box.

It is likely that Akregator simply uses a simplistic preview widget below, but when opened in tabs uses a fully fledged KHTML KPart, which is able to handle Flash, etc.

Which is understandable I guess, maybe I should put this as a feature request that could be a configuration option.
