Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) Compiler: gcc 4.4.3 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages sometimes clicking on a filder/file and nothing happens - using the raw view of dolphin - doing it a second or third time works
Thanks for the report! Could you please provide additional information, as I'm unable to reproduce the issue: - What do you mean with "raw view"? The details view, icons view, column view? - If it is the details view: did you click on the icon or the directory name? - What does "nothing" mean: Will the item at least get selected or does Dolphin freeze completely?
i didnt know the english name because i use the german version of kde - i mean column view, the folder/file gets selected but no action happens, if i do it a second time it works, but dolphin doesnt crash or freeze
and it doent happen all the time - only sometimes
Might it be that you clicked on the folder-icon of the column-view and have enabled "[x] Show Selection Markers" (= a kind of green "+" when hovering the item)? In this case disabling them might be wanted in your case (Dolphin Preferences -> General -> [ ] Show Selection Markers).
see http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2008/04/selecting-items.html for more infos about the selection markers...
no its not the selction marks - i know them and this wouldnt be a bug .... the way to reproduce it is like this: 1.)open dolphin in column view 2.)click on a folder A in column AA - column BB opens 3.) click on a file in column BB (it has to be a file a folder doesnt work) 4.) select another folder C in column AA 5.)folder C gets selected but column BB isnt updated 6.) clicking on folder C a second time updates column BB
it has to be a file a folder doesnt work - a folder wont reproduce it ... it also sometimes happen to file - but i dont know excatly how to reproduce it... if it isnt reproduceable for you - is there some way to record a video in kde to show it to you?
another way to reprocude it without opening the file is with the mentioned "selection markers" 1.)open dolphin in column view 2.)click on a folder A in column AA - column BB opens 3.) select at least one file/folder with the "selection markers" in column BB 4.) select another folder C in column AA 5.)folder C gets selected but column BB isnt updated 6.) clicking on folder C a second time updates column BB seems that when a file in BB is selected the first click on a folder in AA just deselects the file in BB and the second click on a folder in AA updates BB
to be corrent 4.) select another folder C in column AA is ment to be 4.) click on another folder C in column AA
Sorry for the late reply, I could reproduce the issue now with the steps of comment #8 :-)
Could it be that this issue is fixed by the recent changes in Columns View? I can reproduce in 4.4.4 (Opensuse), but not in trunk.
Works for me in trunk and 4.5 branch. Closing.
