Or packaging complexity if someone build kde packages, gnome packages.....
I won't, and I'm sure noone else is crazy enough.

Consider this: such feature is desktop-specific.
And, just to mention, platform-specific too.

Well, from a usability point of view :
- choice 1 : click an "open incoming folder" button
- choice 2 : click "desktop" icon, find the proper icon, click that icon to go to the incoming folder.
-------> From a usability point of view, I still feel the need for that "open incoming folder" function.


I'm not a coder, I must confess this.

However, since there IS indeed a KDE integration, why not add "open incoming folder" to the choices displayed when right-clicking amule's icon in the tray ?

Or else (I repeat i'm no coder, my proposition might be a nonsense :p), would it be impossible to have amule run the URL of the incoming folder when we click "open incoming folder" ?
This way there would be no need to chose the file browser...
I mean, for me, since Konqueror is the default browser, and when I run a local URL, that automatically will start Konqueror with that URL. But if Nautilus (eeeeeeeeew, no URL bar by default, eeeeeeeew) was my default browser, that method would have opened the URL in Nautilus. Heck, that method would have worked with MS-windows too. For Mac I have no idea, but I suspect that could work too...
Is there some impossibility for amule to run an URL ? o_O
If there is no impossibility, i'd really like that "open incoming folder" function ^^

Correct, but IMHO hard to do, which means low priority.

Not so fast here :)
Everithing is possible, but KDE and GNOME have it different way AFAIK. And I'm not talking about Mac which have it in "mac only way"; and Windows, which have it "Microsoft(tm) way". Diversity - that's what hard about it, not the issue itself.

OK, if the boss says so, I suppose the debate is closed  ^^
