Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

It probably wasn't the original intention to make Folder View into a fully funcitonal file manager. However, today was the day I got very wowed by Plasma. By adding RSS Now to one panel one the side of my dual screen settup and Folder Views on the a panel on the other side.

I was really impressed by clicking on a folder view that was placed on my panel and having the file list pop up like a menu. This is simply great. It would be perfect if I could have:

1) Navigated up and down the file list like I can if I right click on a file or folder and navigate the "copy to" or "move to" context menu items;

2) Finding an "Open Folder View" item in the context menu when right clicking on a folder.

In any case, today I was wowed. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to better and better Plasma things.

Eli
