Hi,

in kdevelop in "New Project" we use KFileDialog::getExistingDirectory to get the direcotry in which the project will be created.
Now we got a "bug report" that the user cannot create a new folder. So please:
    Add a button "New folder" to the KFileDialog::getExistingDirecotry-Dialog! It is really missing.

hopefully this will be in for kde 3.2 :)

thanks a lot!
Dominik Haumann,
dhaumann

in kdevelop we use now KURLRequester that has the desired behaviour.
Anyway: The ability to create a new folder in the KFileDialog::getExistingDirecotry-dialog would be nice.
If you think it isn't necessary (because you can use KURLRequester) then close this bug/wish.
