Can you suggest an alternative to preview toggle? (or may be what todd rme
proposed would be acceptable?) We implemented this feature after Peter's
suggestion that KLook should be opened using one click. I am ready to
implement your suggestions on what would make KLook integration acceptable
to be used in Dolphin (I wanted to put KLook on reviewboard earlier, but I
see no point in doing that without knowing whether it can even be used...)

</div>Peter pointed out some time ago [1] why the "Space" shortcut for \
KLook<br> does not provide a big usability improvement compared to the current<br>
situation in single-click mode (which is the default), and I agree<br>
with his arguments.<br>

</div>If we do that, I can already see bug reports like "I enabled the KLook<br>
button, but Dolphin doesn't show it" coming from users who always use<br>
the Details View with a small icon size. And I also see that some<br>
users will request that we make it configurable if the selection<br>
markers or the "KLook" button will be hidden when there is<br>
insufficient space for both. In other words: such a solution would be<br>
a maintenance nightmare.<br>
<br>
