Re: No mix of files and dirs please.

I used Dolphin (the IO-Slave shell) to specifically express that I regard the job as different from what Konqueror (the IO-Slave and KPart shell) would do, like using a KPart for tar and an IO-Slave for the ssh.

That said I didn't think of bringing up the pointless debate. Which is btw mostly pointless, because it's about a decision already done, and only about people not understanding what it is.

And other than that, the debate is by itself not bad. I think it helps to show the developers that the "people" (the mass of slightly informed users) really appreciate Konqueror and want it to stay and want to see continuation of this success story.

So please don't police my use of "Dolphin". While I feel that it was not well communicated by the developers, I do feel and appreciate the role of it. And my wish is exactly a point where Konqueror and Dolphin should behave different. In Konqueror browsing a tar should open a complex KPart with all the details, and in Dolphin it should be like browsing the files inside the tar.

Bah, I really am annoyed to see this police style of comment.

Thanks,
Kay

Sorry, not getting it. Why should Konqueror get a complicated KPart for this and Dolphin get the polished one? Who wants a complicated KPart exactly? I want Konqueror to be awesome, not complicated.

du... man complex != complicated.

konqu may load Ark as a kpart (which translates to "embed ark in konqu")

dolphin can _not_ load any kpart, so it's limited to the one file-browsing interface hardcoded into dolphin. Still it uses the same kio-slaves like konqu or all other kde-apps can use (making it possible to dive into a tgz-file e.g.)
