Status

This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for KDE Base Apps.


Repository: kde-baseapps


Description
-------

As somebody who loves bash scripting but also wants to have a nice userfriendly graphical "interface" for those scripts, I excessively use kdialog.
In a new project I am working on, I need the detailedsorry thing in KMessageBox, so I can provide a simple error message "could not launch xyz" while allowing detailed error information such as "directory xyz does not exist" in an expandable Details box.
This patch adds this functionality to kdialog.
Usage:
kdialog --detailedsorry "error message" "what should be in the details section"
also works with detailederror

[I am volunteering for an update of the respective Wiki page on techbase http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Tutorials/Shell_Scripting_with_KDE_Dialogs_%28de%29 as well. Those screenshots date back to KDE 3 and early KDE 4 times ;) ]
