| + | **In ''CoreEngine::slotInstallationVerification(int result)'' signalInstallationFinished() and signalInstallationFailed() are emitted but not connected anywhere. | ||
| + | * No feedback in the dialog that some items are already present (was done in 3.5 in the app by writing in config stuff entries then KNS picked that and displayed a green tick in the list) | ||
| + | ** In KDE 3.5 this code is in ''void DownloadDialog::install(Entry *e)'' in ''downloaddialog.cpp'' | ||
| + | * The display of the list is slow, way slower than in KDE 3.5 | ||
