actually, the lastest dolphin "creates" a filename your/file/name and hangs... I agree that some sort of ?are you sure? would be best here. If kfile can handel non-modal dialogs that would be the best. Or, if it creates the directories as one step, and then has you hit save again... Or, another option is to use a non-modal dialog with a timer. About to to create the folders foo/bar/qux/baz/ reconsider? 3... 2... 1... Or, I think this is best: non-modal-dialogbox: Click ok again to create folders and save file. / can't be used as part of a file/dir name in Linux, because / is the path separator, there is no way around that. For some time now, if you try to create a file/folder with '/', the dialog will show a message telling you it's going to create a dir tree. The alternative character is a unicode character that looks like / but isn't the same character. I agree, acting differently when creating a file vs a dir is a bit confusing. Anyway, this report is about creating a dir tree when creating a new folder a/b/c, this particular issue is mitigated by the message displayed by the create new dialog. Closing this report, feel free to open separate reports for the other issues. |
