Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux The dynamic view I have in mind, if you can call it dynamic, is: Assume you have a folderview set to ~/work/documents. In that directory you have several sub-directories (say pdf, wordprocessing and what not) Right now (in 4.0.80), if you click on the direcory icon Dolphin opens up in that directory. The change I have in mind is that the user could get to choose if Dolphin (or whatever is set as default file manager) should open or whether the folder-view should be updated with the new content (either by using say ctrl, or by an appropriate tick-box in the settings dialogue).
Perhaps instead we should have a separate fully fledged dolphin plasmoid?
that would mean allowing plasmoids with kparts in them.. i would like it

"this would then imply all sorts of navigation logic and UI." Hm, yes. That's true. Never mind then, unless someone thinks of a really good way of adding that without making the plasmoid too complicated and/or cluttered. It's more of a "may be nice to have but very low on the list of things that absolutely need to be implemented".
