SUMMARY

Dolphin does not support touchscreens well.

Touchscreen users cannot easily or reliably access the context menu for a folder or file in Dolphin.

Currently, when the user tries to long press a file or folder icon to access the context menu:

- if they press the filename they can edit the name (understandably)

- if they press the icon nothing happens, sometimes after a long wait the context menu appears, but this is hit-and-miss, unreliable and unintuitive.

[User expects (in line with common protocol in other apps):

1) 1 finger tap to select
2) 1 finger double tap icon to open
3) 1 finger swipe to multi select
4) 2 finger swipe to scroll
5) 2 fingers pinch to zoom
6) 1 finger long press to get context menu]
