Description p.daniels 2008-07-03 19:49:04 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I would like to see some more options for folder view, foremost among them being the option to view recursively. For instance, I have a folder called ~/me/docs/, within which are several subdirectories. I want to see all the *.od*, *.sla, and *.xcf files in docs and all subdirs. A tree view option might be nice too.

I originally wanted to request that you move this to component widget-folderview, but alas you have already done so. Thanks!

Also I thought I remembered a quite similar feature request. While none were really similar, here are some I found: 
filtering undesired files
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163692
filtering for mime-type
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164272
browsing inside folder view:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163848

the potential power of folderview as opposed to a static desktop seems to dawn to a few people :)

Oh and I forgot: Nepomuk will probably get you these features for free.
