Version: 2.4.1 (using KDE 3.4.2-1.2.fc4.kde, Fedora) Compiler: Target: i386-redhat-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 It would be great if the file browser of Kate had the same right-click menu as Konquerer does. The features that are most needed in my opinion are: Create New-> Properties Move To Trash Change Name Open With Cut/ Copy/ Paste Two of these show up _sometimes_: Properties and Move To Trash. I cannot figure out what causes them to show or not to. Same behaviour on local files AND on files accessed by the fish protocol. Thanks!
I support this request. It would be very useful to can add a new file or to can cut/copy/paste by right click.
Hi all, I agree with what is said, but a minima, a right-click option "Open current folder" (in Dolphin) in filebrowser panel would spare much time when trying to get files in same folder as the one opened. Then in Dolphin you could get all right-click features. Thanks for your work :) Laurent
Now that we are using Dolphin instead of Konqueror, it should be mentioned that the Dolphin file manager is embeddable: Konqueror in fact now embeds the Dolphin component! Maybe Kate could just embed the Dolphin file manager like Konqueror does. That would lead to consistency and some additional features.
With the changes in dolphin, we now have: - Create New-> - Properties - Move To Trash - Open file manager Through properties, you can also rename. Open With and Cut/ Copy/ Paste still is missing, but then I'm not sure whether you should just open the file manager to do this. I'll leave this to the dolphin guys, but imo this request can be closed.
Thanks, Dominik. That looks good, but "Change Name" really is necessary from within the code editor for e.g. refactoring. I do agree that the inclusion of "Open file manager" helps for the other cases.
(In reply to comment #4) > I'll leave this to the dolphin guys, but imo this request can be closed. @Dominik: could you please tell me what feature exactly this report requests in Dolphin? I read the report a couple of times, but I can't really see it :-( It's also entirely unclear to me how "changes in Dolphin" could affect Kate's file tree plugin.
Hi Frank, it's about the "filesystem browser" plugin, you may first have to enable in in Kate in order to see it. There, we are using a KDirOperator, and I thought that this uses some dolphin part to list directory contents. This report requests more actions in the context menu, but I'm not sure whether this is really a good idea, so that's why I just move the component ;)

OK, I see, thanks! > There, we are using a KDirOperator, and I thought that this uses some dolphin part to list directory contents. No, it doesn't. Even though it looks similar, KDirOperator does not have much to do with Dolphin. AFAIK, it uses only KDirLister and KDirModel, combined with the standard itemviews from Qt.
Ok, then sorry for the noise. Still, since you can open Dolphin just by one click now, it's straight forward to do the rest of the file management stuff. Hence, I'll close this anyway ;)
