(Get the code!)
> So instead of crashing, it just plain doesn't work anymore?
Yes. It's really annoying when you've got a Konqueror window open with 10 tabs and one of them crashes the whole instance...
It would be great if this functionality could be implemented somehow. It would make Konqueror (at least on my comps) at lot more stable.
If it would be possible to show the user a warning that a kpart is being blacklisted because it seems to be unstable that would be better than doing it silently I think. In the File Associations part in the Control Center, in the list from the Service Preference Order, maybe the kpart could be listed with an icon in front of it (skull or cross or something like that), so it is clear it is disabled. Also an option to reenable it from there seems logical.
Also one thing about point 4 in my earlier comment (#4), would it be possible to have some sort of generic kpart that would only display a button which someone could click on to have the file/URL passed to an external/serperate viewer?
Maybe it could even be so that once a kpart is blacklisted, a button could always appear. Clicking on the button would open a new instance of Konqueror with the offending kpart in it instead of embedding it in the current instance. Then it wouldn't be a problem if the kpart would crash, since only the new Konqueror instance would be taken down.
