           Summary: Auto-open destination folder when saving an attachment
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.0
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rulatir at wp.pl


Version:           1.12.0 (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

Please add the time saving functionality of auto-opening the destination folder
when saving an attachment. This could be controlled by an additional checkbox
on the file selector.

The implementation should:

- detect running desktop environment and use that environment's configured file
manager instead of always using Dolphin. If we don't feel like writing code to
determine this user preference in each and every DE, then at least use the
detected DE's _default_ file manager. That should be as easy as a static
dictionary.

- if we can know that the file manager is already displaying the desired
directory in a window or tab, just bring it to the front. If there are many
such windows/tabs, find one that doesn't have multiple selection. If not found,
open new window or tab.
