Description Panagiotis Papadopoulos 2009-11-16 19:13:55 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It is not possible anymore to select a whole group of files by clicking on the heading of the groups, when using the categorized view (Show in Groups) in Dolphin.

This was possible in 4.3.x in trunk it does not work anymore and since this was a *very* useful feature, it shouldn't be missing in KDE 4.4

Thanks for the report, I can confirm this. Probably caused by the refactoring of KCategorizedView - assigning to Rafael.

Comment 2 Stefan T. 2009-12-27 17:48:07 UTC

I can confirm this.

Maybe Show in groups should have keyboard shortcut and icon by default...

hey, please re-implement this! it is the best feature of the "show in groups" option. Used it every day...

I've no votes left for dolphin, but I virtually vote this bug :-)

Comment 7 Peter Penz 2010-01-30 12:14:13 UTC

A patch has been published for review in kdelibs today. I'm not sure whether we can get it in for KDE SC 4.4.0, but it should be possible to have fixed the regression in KDE SC 4.4.1.

Comment 11 Cyrill Helg 2010-01-31 15:30:51 UTC

Functionality is back, however there is no hover effect when the mouse is over the clickable titles. I think that was the case before?

Thanks anyway

as cyrill helg already said, there is no more visual hint/clue, that indicates the ability to select a whole group by clicking the heading. so it is some kind of luck to find out, that this is possible.
selecting a group is now also possible in the system settings dialog, which is a bit annoying (clicking in a free area selects the group) and senseless. this should be reviewed again I think!
