FWIW, I read that as well. ... And now we're seeing a complaint from going back to inline renaming. <shrug> I guess as they say, can't please everybody all the time. It'd be nice to have that as an option, but at least originally, I believe dolphin was supposed to be a "simpler" file manager that "just worked", without all the "extra" config options of konqueror, etc. So it'd probably end up an option in konqueror, with dolphin either continuing to be hard-coded or honoring the konqueror option, but with no visible way to set it in/for dolphin. (AFAIK that's the way the "keep a konqueror instance preloaded" functionality works currently. Setting it for konqueror also effectively sets it for dolphin, but there's nothing anywhere that actually documents that, it just works that way.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
