I completely agree! Also, i have tested your patch and it works quite nicely :-) If \
not commited, it will certainly be handy to have it.

two people expressed interest in such a feature (one of them in 2004, when Dolphin \
didn't exist at all), I'm not sure if this feature is really useful enough to \
justify that we add code and a GUI option to implement it. Every option makes the \
settings dialog a bit more complex and harder to use, therefore, I prefer to only add \
options if I see that there is a very good reason to do it.
If some feature request has been reported at bugs.kde.org, that does not necessarily \
mean that it should be implemented, not even if it's marked as NEW. I'm sorry \
if there was a misunderstanding there! Note that bugs can be confirmed in several \
ways, one of them is by getting a certain number of votes. I think that Peter's \
policy was to confirm wish reports when it seemed sort of understandable that the \
feature might be useful to the reporter (which does not necessarily mean that the \
feature is in agreement with http://dolphin.kde.org/philosophy.html).
One could argue that we should close reports which are probably not going to be \
implemented as WONTFIX, but going through all wish reports, evaluating one by one if \
they make sense and then writing something reasonable to make it clear to the \
reporter why we are not going to implement it would take an enormous amount of time. \
Moreover, it would not be a very productive task. Therefore, I'm neither willing \
to spend the little time that I have to work on Dolphin on that, nor will I ask \
someone else to help with that. Yes, the "feature requests at bugs.kde.org" \
situation is very far from optimal, but I don't see a way to resolve this \

A possible solution for this problem:
# Situation:
You have opened multiple tabs - /home/kdeuser/dolphin/src, /home/kdeuser/kdelibs/src \
and /home/kdeuser/kate/src # Tabs in Dolphin 2.1:
| src | src | src |
# Tabs in a "possible" Dolphin version (Current tab name is also used for \
the window title): | dolphin/src | kdelibs/src | kate/src |
Dolphin does automatically recognize if there are multiple tabs with the same name. \
-> The problem is automatically solved (So we need no additional gui option) -> \
Very useful feature for the Dolphin user Simon ;)
Do you like this idea?
> http://dolphin.kde.org/philosophy.html
Interesting :)
> One could argue that we should close reports which are probably not going to be \
implemented as WONTFIX, but .... Hmm, how could we handle that in a good way? - What \
if we create a list of interesting and useful feature request (also with \
"priority" and additional ideas), so that every Dolphin developer can work \
on some cool features, which agree with the Dolphin philosophy and get definitely \
merged into master.
It would be great, if we can setup a wiki or forum for that purpose (Like KDE \
brainstorm but Dolphin specific)
A "possible" way to create very usable features would be:
1. Search for interesting feature requests with the "same" target/scope - \
"Merge" multiple feature requests (Work together on IRC with developers and \
users) 2. Think about it!!! (Work together on IRC with developers and users)
3. Write a wiki/forum article about it and add mock-ups, personal ideas, \
implementation details, possible usecases ... (Work together on IRC with developers \
and users) 4. Other developers/users/ui-experts/... can now give their feedback about \
it (additional ideas, better mock-ups, better way to implement the feature, ...) 5. \
Developers who are interested in this feature start to implement it 6. Other \
developers/users/experts can now test the feature -> feedback 7. Merge it into \
master and ship it 8. HAVE FUN WITH A NEW AWESOME (and well studied) FEATURE \

Btw. what do you think about my idea C#2?
# Situation:
You have opened multiple tabs - /home/kdeuser/dolphin/src, /home/kdeuser/kdelibs/src \
and /home/kdeuser/kate/src # Tabs in Dolphin 2.1: (=> hmm which folder belongs to \
dolphin? kdelibs? kate??) | src | src | src |
# Tabs in a "possible" Dolphin version: (always clear which src folder \
belongs to which project) | dolphin/src | kdelibs/src | kate/src |
Another example: A web developer uses Dolphin for ftp transfer (The webserver and the \
local pc have the same folder structure) # Dolphin 2.1:
| image | image | (Hmm which image folder is on the server/local pc?)
# "Patched" Dolphin:
| Developing/website/images | Server/website/images |
I think this is very useful feature for Dolphin users (Developers, photographers, \
admins, ...). Am I wrong?</pre> </blockquote>
