Version: 2.0 (using Devel) OS: Linux Prior to dolphin 2.0, it was possible to select a group by clicking on a + button on the group's header. This feature is no longer present. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable grouping 2. Hover your mouse over the group header Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: You get a + button to select all the files in the group I understand not all features made it into the initial Dolphin 2 release, so if this is known and planned then just use this bug for tracking purposes.
We are aware about this (see http://community.kde.org/Dolphin/Dolphin-2.0-Status) but of course tracking this here makes more sense :-)
Sorry, I didn't see that list.
No problem, the list (although public) was mainly used by us developers internally to synchronize our work for the 2.0 release.
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
I have decided not to re-implement this for the time being (see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/109893/). Quite large code changes would be required to implement this, which would most likely cause regressions (the proposed patch makes Dolphin crash for me, but like with any big code change, there are certainly a couple of more subtle issues that would cause trouble for quite some time). On the other hand, I believe that the feature is certainly useful for some people, but not important enough for a large part of our user base to justify making risky large-scale code changes. The new grouping implementation is IMHO far superior to the one in KCategorizedView, which was used in Dolphin 1.x, not only because it works in all view modes, but also because it behaves more consistently in some situations (e.g. when selecting items). I believe that sacrificing the 'group selection' is an acceptable price for that. I know that some people will hate me for this, but I believe that one cannot continuously add new features and at the same time preserve all 'old' features without making the code unmaintainable in the long term. Of course, other future Dolphin maintainers might have a different opinion on this, so I'm fine with leaving this open as a wish.
No duplicates, comments, or patches in 4 years; I think we can safely close this. Interest level seems low compared to the effort required.
I would still like to see this sometime. Is it possible to keep it on a wishlist?
Possible, yes. I'm going through all Dolphin bugs and cleaning out old requests that haven't seen any action or interest in years. Your comment counts as some interest. But please be aware that this is an all-volunteer effort; this feature will probably only be implemented via a user-submitted patch.

Count me in as interested as well. I think it would be good to have a central place where there could be a List of KDE/plasma removed features. Things like Manual grouping on the taskbar Grouped windows have tabs in title bar (i know it's in_progress) KRunner's HUD (appmenu-runner) Auto-Tiling Animated Wallpapers Get New Splash Screen Button and probably a few others were removed for any reasons. But some would be nice to bring back. I was thinking about a wiki page or something to keep track of removed features. Is there such a "place"?
Would be awesome - and very useful - to have this integrated into Dolphin's new Selection Mode When groups are too big, being able to select the entire group with just one click in its "header" would be great :)
