Description Nathaniel Taylor 2005-04-25 00:40:44 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Many apps provide a "Recent files" type menu, which can be very useful.   I would like a similar menu, under "Location" on the konqueror file-manager --- "Recent directories".

I often work for a few days mainly in one or a few directories well below my home.  Short of configuring a special profile for konqueror for each of these, I'm forced to click my way through to where I'm working.

I see that this is more difficult than the "Recent files" case, since one goes through so many directories in the normal use of konqueror.  As a starting suggestion, how about either just truly showing the last, say, 10 directories, or remembering only those
that have been gone to by changing directory more than once in a certain time (i.e. click-click rather than click-opensomething-lookabout-click ...).

@Peter: What do you think about this? could be merged with the "stacked folder" proposal?

This file picker is a big reason why my primary OS remains OS/2.

@FiNeX: could you please give me a pointer to the "stacked folder" proposal? Thanks!

@Peter: The keyword was "boxes", not "stack", I'm sorry.

I'm referring to this wish:

Comment 5 Peter Penz 2009-12-12 19:01:07 UTC 
@FiNeX: I think this is a different wish to the "stack", so I'd just leave it as separate wish here...

@Peter: ooooook :-)
Comment 7 Dotan Cohen 2010-03-28 15:28:10 UTC 
Is the "Places" menu adequate for this? Of course it requires the user to manually add the working folders instead of adding the recent ones automatically.
Comment 8 Felix Miata 2010-05-10 03:05:36 UTC 
Manual good. Automatic very much better.
