Krunner, Kickoff and Nepomuk krunner

[Daniel Winter]

Hi,

with the inclusion of the nepomuk search krunner i started to use krunner even 
more (to search for files, pictures, music). And now I have a few questions, 
issues where you most probaly are already aware of.  I just want to here your 
thoughts and the reasons and plans on those.

- First, krunner in kickoff:

There is the search bar in kickoff. Is there a reason why  it is not using 
krunner to get the results? 

I really would like to use it to get the same results as i would get using 
"ALT+F2" and have it use the same syntax.

- Second, visulization of the results in krunner:

Yeah, it really looks nice. But I think it has some usablity issues. Some of 
them get more problematic as the result set gets bigger. 

For example: When I search for "image someName"  I get mostly 5-10 results.  
The problem is: The way krunner shows the results I have to select every 
result to see its full "caption". And without that i only see the first few 
chars of that. Not enough to quickly get the correct result. 

A boring simple list with an Icon in front of each result (optinaly grouped by 
type or runner plugin) would be much more usable. (though not looking as good 
:-( )   Krunner in kickoff could show such a list. 

- Third: Hidden features in krunner:

For a lot of krunners you have to read the source to find out how to use them. 

Wouldn't a short explantion in the Info page of the plugin selection dialog 
help?

And I have still no clue what the different colors of the results means. 

Thanks,

DanielW
