Description andreas 2016-03-10 11:26:43 UTC
dolphin give the user the posibility (hidden feature) to show the KIO modules. If the folder view plasmoid also add some moduls from the KIO and add the other ones in an Other section it would be more consistent with dolphin and give the user the posibility to applications and system settings in the folder view.

so the idea is to   use the same stuff than in dolphin with some simplification

Show a place:
- Home
- Desktop
- Network
- Root
- Trash
- Programms
- Settings
---------------
- Devices -> submenu with the available devices as in dolphin
- webstore -> Submenu with the (ftp, nfs, sftp, smb, webdav, ...)

Reproducible: Always

That makes no sense, sorry.

Those are KIO protocols, not "places"
Comment 4 Eike Hein 2016-03-10 11:30:19 UTC
Devices already show in the places list.
Comment 5 Eike Hein 2016-03-10 13:00:10 UTC
I think this is a reasonable wishlist entry, why are you so driven to WONTFIX it ...?
Comment 6 Kai Uwe Broulik 2016-03-10 13:16:43 UTC
Because this bug report doesn't make sense and as you already said "Devices already show in the places list." and perhaps I misread it. Whatever.
Comment 7 Eike Hein 2016-03-10 13:17:30 UTC
I think it's about fonts:/, applications:/, settings:/ etc.
Comment 8 Thomas Pfeiffer 2016-03-10 19:10:07 UTC
I agree with Eike: This does make sense and makes the Folderview widget much more useful.
Comment 9 andreas 2016-03-10 19:36:59 UTC
it was the idea to have also the applications:/, and settings:/ KIO easy available with this widget but I'm ok with it that this widget is for files and it doesn't make the plasmoid better.

How about everyone stops playing with the bug ticket state the maintainer sets.
Comment 11 andreas 2016-06-19 08:12:57 UTC
Sorry eike it's your product so it's your choice what to do with this report.
