As a fellow user, I agree with preferring the older selection behaviour and observations. To add, dragging an empty area in between icons is more of a chore, needing to be done more carefully. Despite looking like empty space, there's less region to drag a rectangle in between a grid of icons whereas previously there was plenty of an empty area. I hope an option can be introduced to use the original (Qt) selection behaviour. For now I'll stick with 25.04.3, but that'll require local patches since Qt 6.10 has caused a problem with how icons are dragged (not an issue with 25.08.x) |
Created attachment 184104 [details] new highlight Hi there, I would like to leave my feedback here about the item selection highlight in Dolphin after the upgrade to version 25.08.0. Personally, I prefer the old format, but I understand the idea of this new one. However, the new one feels a bit clunky for me. Specifically, I don't like the visual feedback that it provides after selecting an item. The fact that the background inside the square flashes feels like the selection isn't "right" somehow. It reminds of the behavior of some buggy applications that I had used in the past. I think the old format where you select and it paints the entire file and name blue works best. To be clear, my problem is when clicking to select a item. After it is selected, the highlight itself is fine, but I don't like the visual feedback of clicking and it flashing the background of the square, as it feels that I made something wrong (such as double-clicked, when, in fact, I did not). Thanks.
