All true. I generally use the browser as these are typically sequences of multiple videos that link together, but it's true that viewing them offline makes them easier to pause and continue later. YouTube has adopted the annoying habit of starting the video (from the beginning) as soon as you open the tab, even if it's restoring a browser session from earlier. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
