Description kek had 2004-09-30 18:04:18 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

When you have marked an icon on in the desktop or a konqueror window there is no real use of wheel mouse (not in gnome either for that case). Nothing happens if you scroll up or down or push the wheel button. A good use would be the following!

Say if you have a directory structure like this under your desktop!

Desktop/
   |
   Keyhan's home/
        |
        my documents/    
        my media/
            |
             movies/
             music/
             keyhan.jpg

So now, when we mark "Keyhan's home" and use scroll up or down a droplist of directories beneath it (my documents, my media), is shown and scrolled through, if you click middle button on "my media" then a second droplist is shown with "movies" and "music" directories in it. But if you left click on it then a konqueror window of the chosen directory is opened showing all the files and directories(movies/ music/ and keyhan.jpg).

What do you think? Isn't it great?
Would love to hear your idea about this.
cheers
Keyhan

Something like this is implemented in the folderview plasmoid, but I agree that it might be useful to have an action for scrolling on an icon (maybe it should change color).

Seems like a good idea for a widget! Feel free to write one. :)
