Gabriel Tenita <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #80 from Gabriel Tenita <[email protected]> --- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510166 left me under the impression the new behaviour was to be reverted, but, obviously, it wasn't. The developers appear not sure about how to tackle this. I think that the issue is that Dolphin does things I (and other users like me) cannot see. The mentioned PRs don't seem to address this issue: disabling selection after dir creation (https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/1137) will complicate some user flows, and reverting the context menu behaviour of using of the selected item as containing folder for new file menu (https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/60e109632fd63b335ca1cc037c5d5c3e291349f5), while it is a step in the right direction, it will not prevent the hidden dir creation by other means (e.g. keyboard shortcuts). I agree that having the newly created folder should be selected, but, while I like being able to rename it directly, I really don't like not seeing subsequent folders being created. Also, feels funny when having intentionally selected multiple folders creating a new folder operates in the current location, while having unintentionally (like after creating a folder) selected a single folder creating a new folder operates hidden in the newly created folder. The discrepancies leave the user puzzled. Please, remember that the user experience will not be improved by arbitrarily enforced rules, however logical they may be, but by smartly adapting the interface to the user needs. I love KDE precisely because it does this better than any other desktop environment I used (and I used all major operating systems and desktop environments). To me, the best solution would be to group the operations that do not have visible feedback/results on the selected item (e.g. creating new folders) and making this group ignore selections and operate instead in the current visible location. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
