Description karl.r.ernst 2011-04-07 21:07:46 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

One thing that is bugging me is that I cannot create new folders in the folder panel, instead I always have to go into the parent folder and have to create it there.

So a "Create new folder" context menu option might be a good addition for everyone who likes working with the folder panel.

Reproducible: Didn't try

patch to add new file menu, open in new window and tab options to folder panel context menu

the parent()-cascade is kind of bad, but I couldn't figure out any another way

Thanks for the patch, but it is a little bit too hacky ;-) The TreeViewContextMenu does not have a dependency to the main window on purpose: The actions of the main window always are valid for the currently shown view and never for the panels. That is why the also no rename action etc. has been used from the main window.

A cleaner way to solve this would be to create a custom instance of KNewFileMenu and keep it alive with K_GLOBAL_STATIC (the menu may not get deleted after  showing of the "New directory" dialog).

I second the request.
This option is still not available in version 22.12.3.
