Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Dolphin very nicely remembers which files were selected when the user switches between Icon and other views. Dolphin should also remember which files were selected when showing / hiding hidden folders. Steps to reproduce: 1) Enable Show Hidden Files button 2) Select multiple folders. 3) Click Show Hidden Files button 4) ??? 5) Profit! I expected to see the selected files remain selected, but they were not.
Problem still exists with KDE 4.5.1 IMHO it's a bug, not a missing feature?
I agree, this is a bug.
Git commit 7993626ee89a7924d55d0c6f8455438459f1de88 by Matthias Fuchs. Committed on 02/06/2011 at 00:56. Pushed by mfuchs into branch 'master'. Keeps the selection after showing/hiding hidden files. Still only files that are shown will be selected, thus selecting hidden files and then hiding hidden files will deselect those.
