Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-99-athlon Konqueror allows you to just paste the current clipbord content (an URL or a path) directly somewhere in the window and Konqueror will open this location in the current window. The same feature would IMHO be cool for KDE's "File Open" and "File Save As" Dialog boxes. Pasting the current path from the clipboard either into the File list window or somewhere at the border with the MMB should change the view to show this path as current directory and it's contents.
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
Fantastically, this now works just how you want it: when you middle-click-paste a valid path into the URL/path bar, the whole dialog instantly changes to that path!

Wow!, it just took 15 years to implement it :-)
