Bug ID: 418339
Summary: Improve default icon arrangement on desktop
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: g-...@web.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
On a freshly installed plasma desktop, icons (on the desktop) are arranged "in
rows", what imho is not a sane "default"!
The 2 main reasons, why it would be a better solution to standardly arrange
icons "in columns" are the following:
1. Other common desktop environments (Linux, Windows, MacOS) arrange their
icons in columns, too! Therefore, new users would not be somewhat confused (or
forced to reconfigure), when trying plasma the first time.
2. Usually, users use "landscape" displays! If icons are arranged in column,
it's (normally) much easier to "drag & drop" files between the desktop and
other applications (e.g. dolphin):
+--------------------+
| o o +-----------+ |
| o o | dolphin | |
| o o | o o o o o | |
| o | o o o o o | |
| o | o o o | |
| o +-----------+ |
+--------------------+
Please consider changing the mentioned default behavior (back to where it was
even on KDE <= version 3).
Thx & regards, Gerhard (alias Gerardo)
