Hi,

I've tried klik on Suse 10, and I wonder if the help files / handbooks that written for all KDE apps ever will work and intergrate with KDE help center... It doesn't work for Algebra now, will it ever???

Then I also wonder if language support is being handled by klik???

And what about plugins, as I see it, it not possible to download a program and later and plugins for that app... Is that correct???

Last of all I wonder if klik has any update feature, to avoid that people is running an old version, of for an example firefox witch might have security problems???

besides those 4 things, witch I somehow hope klik can handle, klik is a nice way of getting software... but if those 4 issues isn't solved I can't see how klik would ever be perfect....

If you tell me how to do it... i'll happily include it! (setting MANPATH= and KDEDIRS= seems to have no effect...)

What do you mean? If an application is multilingual, it is so also with klik (especially KDE apps are!)


And what about plugins, as I see it, it not possible to download a program and later and plugins for that app... Is that correct???

klik follows the "1 application = 1 file" approach. Thus, any plugins must be part of the respective application's cmg file. (That can be made so.) For example, gimp.cmg would have to contain all the GIMP plugins. (This is a feature, not a bug!)


Last of all I wonder if klik has any update feature, to avoid that people is running an old version, of for an example firefox witch might have security problems???

If the user wants a newer version, he clicks on the respective klik:// link again. klik is not a "package manager".
