I think the moment you start having two browsers both using KHTML, things are going to start getting confusing. To look at the main competition (and let's be honest, it is the main competition with 90 something percent), in Microsoft Windows, if you're file browsing and you then type a web address into the address box, it'll convert itself into a complete web browser. Then if you type in the path to some folder, it'll convert itself back into a file manager. I think Konqueror already does this, but it doesn't do it enough. When you're using it as a web browser, there are too many features still there that are more for file managing than web browsing, and when you're using it as a file manager, there are still too many buttons that might be better just for when it's a web browser. I know Internet Explorer is rubbish, but in visual terms, it isn't so bad. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFACTnkZm9WCsJi0AIRAlOfAJ9ntYeR+v+wgNhlIk/OpyAND3EgDwCcCzgv pmckl5Pj4exGVjh1O8dA7po= =bKDp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
