Yes. You promise? Great! :) Like extending each app's "File" menu entry to offer close to all what konqueror's RMB/document menu offers? Open with..., move to..., rename, copy to public dir, properties, move to trash, etc.? You would make my day, even a whole month :)) I mean why should there be a difference between file handling in konqueror and in an app? It is about the same file.
