Description Wilbert Berendsen 2004-08-12 08:10:01 UTC 
Version:           onbekend (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7-gentoo-r11

The desktop and konqueror menu entry is too nested:

New->
---Folder
---File->
------HTML File, etc.
---Device->
------Harddisk, etc.

Devices are rarely used, so they indeed belong in a submenu, but the other file types could be moved up to the first submenu:

New->
---Folder
---Device->
--------Harddisk, etc.
---HTML File
---Text File
---KWord Document
---OpenOffice Text Document
---Gimp Image, etc.

This would make the menu quicker and easier to use.

I agree

CVS commit by mkoller: 

BUG: 87023
GUI:
Put new files to create in the first level.
Make sure that "Text File" is the first type, because it's the most used one (according to kde-core discussion)
Group the "Link to" actions together.
