Version: 3.4.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.7 Finding (trying to know) your last copied, moved, restored, accessed file/folder is virtually impossible in konqueror. Konqueror does not provide useful information or "Good Visual Feedback" to the user like: 1. A "new" file pasted 2. A "deleted" file is "restored" 3. A file "moved" (cut+paste) 4. A file "renamed" 5. A file/folder "accessed" (last accessed folder) How to Reproduce: ----------------- The Copy Behavior: ============================================= 1. copy 1 or many files from anywhere. (copy cell.txt from say /tmp) 2. paste the files in a folder where there are similar file types exists. (paste into $HOME/ where you have many many text files) 3. Now how can you find out which files you have just copied to your home folder in few hours or so? 4. What if you mistakenly copied 1 wrong file. How are you going to find out. (can undo will also delete my right files) Expected Behavior: 1. The pasted files must be highlighted (almost same as selection) with a much "lighter" selection color as in kcmshell colors. 2. The pasted files can be visible easily. 3. Hence it gets productive. ============================================= Like Copy behavior when a file or folder text must be displayed with a light color (as if selected). Here are my ideas of colors (you could change it :) ------------------------------- 1. Copy - light blue 2. move - light Orange 3. Restored - light Green 4. Renamed - light yellow 5. Accessed - light grey 6. Cut - light red ------------------------------- 5.Accessed behavior: Same like "Visited URL" in khtml but for folders and files. 1. open $HOME 2. click on Desktop 3. click Back button 4. now Desktop text in $HOME folder be shown in light grey color. 5. to suggest that you've just visited $HOME The Advantage is "Visible" :) a user would not get Confused if the last visited folder s/he's is trying to locate is highlighted with a grey (or any) color. This makes the life of a KDE user simpler. So, access to information is fast. You can also have settings for 'Highlighted Visual FeedBack' or whatever you may call it, same as with HISTORY settings, can be changed per session, can be cleared from "kcmshell privacy" etc. Thank you.
Sorry for the 2 typos... The Copy Behavior: 4. What if you mistakenly copied 1 wrong file. How are you going to find out. "(can undo will also delete my right files)" it should be "(undo will also delete my right files, if I want to remove the files I've just copied)" Accessed Behavior: 5. to suggest that you've just visited $HOME "it is $DESKTOP" not $home
I would very much like to see this in Dolphin, it seems a natural extension to all the other remarkable usability enhancements in Dolphin.
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
I think we can close this nowadays... Dolphin does highlight the file you just pasted.
