Only I had ~50 files and folders on my desktop (across 2 20" 1680x1050 monitors). Using Dolphin instead of just moving things on the desktop itself was a HUGE pain. Furthermore, when one views files in a file manager like Dolphin, you can't "clump" the files together in groups like you can on the desktop. With KDE4, one could make an icon for every file/folder you wanted on the Desktop, but that is an extra step too. I'm hoping that the future KDE4 desktops support traditional drag and drop desktop file/folder management. I think folder view is a useful ADDITION to a traditional desktop. I don't think it supplants it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
