Here are the latest ideas about Dolphin that have been approved. |

thumbnail retreival slow and effectively prevents selection until done

EDIT:The problematic issue seems to be exclusively in Dolphin. I do not, for example, find it a problem with gthumb
RELATED: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25678/
When loading a folder that has a large number of images, the presentation of the thumbnails always takes a long time, and until they are all loaded the sequence of the images constantly changes; making selection almost impossible.
I suspect the problem is that thumbnails are always retrieved in a "sort by name" sequence. But if the folder is sorted "by date, descending" the mismatch between the two creates a rather long wait state for the user before they can click an image.
This is particularly annoying in situations where the user is opening a web browser "file upload" dialog to upload a single image file.

Features lacking in current Dolphin/Nautilus
|

Note: Perhaps this has been added in nautilus, I am using KDE at present, and its version of nautilus may be old (2.30.1).
Suffice it to say, this is an elusive (at best) feature that i really miss from Windows. It had an option when you right-clicked an image file, to 'Set as Background' or similar. In Dolphin and Nautilus, there are no options for 'setting as desktop background'. I know that there is a plugin for nautilus to allow this, but the end user wouldn't know of it. And in KDE, you just about have to use the 'Desktop Activity Settings' module to change your wallpaper. Even Gwenview lacks this option... while M$ Picture and Fax Viewer has it. The current 'desktop settings' apps in gnome and kde have only the option to import images one by one. It would be useful to allow importing an entire folder, that the program would find all the image files from, and show them in the list.
Sorry to rant, I love all the *buntus, it's just a small issue anyhow.

Set icons for specific files

i have seen that you can set icons for files with specific extensions, yet, as a user who is still warming up to ubuntu,i miss the feature in windows where you could go in the settings of a file and change the icon for just that specific file without having to have every file that has that specific name with that specific icon (for example have a file in my home folder titled Test.ext with icon 1 and another file in my documents folder with the same name using icon 2.) i noticed you could do this with folders but would truly appreciate the ability to do this with individual files.

I found that krename in kubuntu-64 repositories is still V3.0.14, while a suse-guy tells me he has
1. V 4.0
2. which integrates nicely in Dolphin!

pyRename as part of Dolphin

I often work with files and directories with Dolphin and have the need to rename a lot of files in the same manner.
pyRename is e.g. a nice tool for that, easy to use and with powerful features.
However, it sucks to just go to the k-menu, open pyRename, navigate it to the directory that I have already open in Dolphin, and then, finally be able to start renaming.

People do not read what they have bookmarked, or downloaded

Scenario: a student is given a list of book marks to work his way through for a course. He sits at his browser and looks through that list, and bookmarks as many of them as he can "for later". He might also download a large quantity of documents to read "later" too. The chance of him actually looking at either the bookmarked webpages or downloaded documents is quite slim. The internet is only useful, if the student actually knuckles down and works though the documents.

Advanced Copy Function 'Copy with path' (Dolphin)
|
|

I often want to copy one or more files that reside deep in a directory tree in different subdirs and keep the whole directory structure even on the destination path.
But the destination path should only hold the specific files i wanted to copy, not all that are on the source path, so I cannot simply copy the whole dir.

File selection in File Managers (like Dolphin) is stone-age

So far, you can only select files from one directory at a time.
However I often intend to copy/move/delete/whatever more than one files from a complex directory tree structure at once. Also files that reside in differrent subdirs.
I do not want to copy the whole subdir! I do not want to copy them in several steps. I want to select these files that reside in several subdirs in one step and copy them in one job.
(this combined to the Advanced Copy Function 'Copy With Path' makes it very easy to selectively copy path/file structures to other disks, external media, players etc. e.g.)
