No, not at all. We are open to every suggestion, and even more to people
willing to help !

Yes, the tree view needs a lot of work.

Really ?
Nah, it's there, you got that one wrong.
File / Open Location, just like in kfm.

Should be but didn't try...

No kidding ? :-)

Great !
We really need more help on konqueror !
You seem to have ideas for the treeview, feel free to implement them.
There are also plans for a kfm-like, MSExplorer-like, ... tree view that
will contain predefined (but configurable) toplevel directories, like
Root, ftp://ftp.kde.org, ... whatever the user wants to see there.
But that is independent from the current treeview, which can be opened
in any location, and which contents only depend on what it can actually list.

kdebase/konqueror/konq_treeview.* are yours :))
