Version: 3.4.3 (using KDE 3.4.3, Arch Linux) Compiler: Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-rc5-mm1-ARCH the "View Filter" in konqueror (filemanager) can be very usefull, if you want to sort files (move them to subdirectories). unfortunately, there is a very annoying bug that makes it not very elegant to use. action to be performed: in a heterogenous directory that contains a lot of different files of different format (plain text, .doc, .png, .svg, ...) around 900 files. the action to be performed is to select all .png files and move them to an existing subdir. reproduce: 1 - in "view filters" mark to show only PNG files 2 - select all files (ctrl+a) -> this selects all PNG files (as others are not shown) 3 - in "view filters" remove filter for PNG files is situation: unfortunately, this removing of filter (step 3) also unsets the selection (from step 2) should-be situation: change "view filters" (3) should not unset an existing file selection workaround: split view: left view with enabled filter for PNG, right without. select files and drag and drop. ... but i want to do this also in only one view without having to split views ;-)
Confirmed on 3.5 branch r575787
It has been fixed on recent version. The selection is ok even after remove the filter. Dolphin (on KDE4) is working right too :-)
