Missing Applications
This page is for documenting and discussing missing applications in KDE4, whether these are KDE3 apps that haven't made the switch yet, or apps from other desktops that there are no KDE equivalents for.
Before adding an app to the list, first look to see if it has already been 'found'.
This page was inspired by a blog by Ana Guerrero (ana)

KBarcode
Description KBarcode is a barcode and label printing application for KDE3. It can be used to print everything from simple business cards up to complex labels with several barcodes (e.g. article descriptions).
Status 2011-03-22 - Unknown.
Alternatives
Notes See Prison, a new barcode library in kdesupport by Sune Vuroela. A rename would be good to emphasise the label and business card side.

Notes
eDonkey/ED2K/eMule/Kademlia filesharing app
Description There is no KDE client for P2P filesharing network eDonkey2000 (ED2K) or enhanced eMule protocol or the distributed protocol Kademlia. These three are usually all supported in the same app.
Link N/A
Status N/A
Alternatives aMule
Notes aMule is there but it looks very bad in KDE and in general its user interface is quite bad. We can do much better with Qt and KDE libraries. It would be nice if the GUI and the protocol library/libraries would be separate (like in KTorrent/libktorrent).
Found Applications
Document here applications that have been successfully 'found', or applications commonly requested that already have acceptable KDE alternatives.
