Description Pierre Habouzit 2006-03-20 17:35:32 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

It'd be nice if the KDE open/save dialogs could understand middle-clicks of the mouse as khtml/firefox/... already do: if an url is stored in the buffer, do that :

if (is_a_directory(clipboard.content)) {
    open_directory_in_the_dialog();
}

if (is_a_file(clipboard.content)) {
    return_it_as_the_dialog_result();
}

It'd be really really useful.


sensitive area for that could be the directory view, or maybe the whole dialog, I don't know.

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
