Well, adding a configuration option for this might not be that easy either. While #424723 might seem quite fundamental, it is not necessarily more difficult to fix that one first, and then not needing a configuration option to resolve this bug here. We also try to follow a guideline of not adding off-by-default settings if possible (https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Design/Frequently_Discussed_Topics#New_off-by-default_features). Directly acting on contents of a folder might be nice, but I wouldn't necessarily call it important enough to add an off-by-default setting for this. > I think it would be great to give the users a choice, and (in my view) it > would not carry the same responsibility for the developers as forcibly > changing the behavior while a "blocking" bug is open. It does carry less responsibility, but the consequence is that there is more responsibility for everyone working on the code later to keep every setting working. There is also a burden for user experience because more possibilities need to be kept in mind while designing. > It is also not clear to me whether there is a consensus on how to resolve > #424723 At least I think that the expected behaviour is quite clear.

Sorry that this does indeed need someone putting some work into this. It is not something that can quickly be resolved without major drawbacks as far as I can tell. Also be aware that this is just my opinion. Others might judge this differently and I try not to block other contributors trying to solve issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
