Currently if you go to "Help>Report Bug" most KDE applications, you get a dialog that gives you a pick list of KDE applications, with that running application selected by default. When you click on the "report bug" button, it pops up the bug reporting in the default web browser.

When you report a bug from Dr. Konqi, (that box that comes up after a KDE application crashes) most of the functionality of reporting a bug is driven with native KDE, including the searching for duplicates, and writing the description, and sending it. There is no web browser involved at all (unless if you need to make a new account I think).

My thought was to extend Dr. Konqi's bug reporting tool, to whatever the one you get when you click on "Help>Report Bug" is called, because I think mostly anything native in the desktop environment is much more intuitive then one in the web browser. I think this would allow users to easily report wishes and non crash bugs with ease in the comfort of the desktop interface.


It seems they already have most of the stuff in place to get native KDE to talk to bugs.kde.org in that tool, (except for giving a way to set the priority of the bug. (as in Crash. Normal, Wishlist) and for attaching attachments), so as far as it seems possible to do, and it seems they already have lots of the important stuff implanted to do that.

What do you think?

This is mostly the same as idea 81040 (brainstorm.php#idea81040_page1).
Should them be merged ?

I don't think they are the same.
