Hello!

Since I am increasingly more often using KFM to navigate around my
system and open files, I noticed a couple of things that IMHO would
significantly increase KFM's usability in this regard.

I realize that this approximately resembles a feature request, which
isn't what you want to hear right now, but please bare with me. :)

1) I've never used JAFM, but have a look at its equivilent of KFM's
location-bar.  http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~rlittlew/jafm/snap.gif
You'll see that just above the text-entry field for the directory-name
field are a strip of thin buttons which sit above each of the elements
in the directory path.  Clicking on one of these thin buttons takes
the file manager 'up' the tree to the corresponding part of the path.

2) Filename completion in KFM's location-bar would be GREAT.  I keep
absentmindedly hitting 'tab' and expecting it to fill in the rest of
the directory or file name for me.  :)  It's a very very nice feature
in shells and GIMP, and would be beautiful in KFM.  I imagine it could
be a core class for KDE which any KApp could use in place of a normal
text-entry field when that field is meant to be used to enter a
filename.

Sorry for sending requests not code... but there it is! :)
