I did not you also didn't realize what functionality existed already for 4.1.=20 as a suggestion for the future: maybe you could ask questions instead of=20 trying to argue with the people writing the code under discussion, unless o= f=20 course you actually have an understanding of that code? > mean to imply that Plasma was bad, inferior or useless without this > feature. i never thought you did (others managed to, but that's another matter); i d= id=20 feel you weren't listening to what was being said, however. it appeared to = me=20 that when you read something that didn't match your understanding, instead = of=20 asking about it you just fired back an unequivocal "I've used the foldervie= w,=20 and it's NOT the same thing!" or "it is not *exactly* the same thing." perhaps if what i say does not match your understanding, consider asking fo= r=20 further explanation instead of yelling back at me that i'm wrong. > cast aspersions on any person. All I did was mention that Folderview did > not provide a certain desired piece of functionality. that wasn't what triggered this. it was trying to insist that you knew that= =20 folderview wasn't the same as kdesktop and therefore, when i answered=20 otherwise, that *i* was somehow confused. given that i'm helping write the= =20 code in question, that's really arrogant. i am tired of dealing with that kind of attitude from people. if it was jus= t=20 once in a while, it would not a problem. but i've been dealing with being t= old=20 by various people that i am wrong, tyrannical, responsible for destroying=20 their project, etc pretty much on a constant basis for the last couple of=20 years. i only have so many cheeks to turn before i decide it's better to take the= =20 hint and go do something else that doesn't involve such routine abuse. and= =20 hey, who knows.. maybe you all are right and i'm the most massive fuck up t= o=20 ever grace this mailing list. in which case, everyone will be better off. cheers. =2D-=20 Aaron J.
