KFileDialog/QIconView usability problem/bug

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

I noticed the following: in single-click mode, it is not possible to select a 
directory using the mouse without entering it (i.e. holding Ctrl and pressing 
LMB, selects the dir and instantly enters it).
I didn't expect that ctrl+lmb changes the directory, I expected it would only 
select the dir. The reason is that in QIconView::contentsMouseReleaseEvent() 
clicked() is emitted no matter whether modifier keys are pressed or not.
How about this patch for kdelibs/kdeui/kiconview.cpp ?
I tried it and for me it seems to be ok.

void KIconView::contentsMouseReleaseEvent( QMouseEvent *e )
{
    d->doAutoSelect = TRUE;
+    if ((e->state() & ShiftButton)
+        || (e->state() & ControlButton)
+        || (e->state() & AltButton))
+       return;
    QIconView::contentsMouseReleaseEvent( e );
}

Bye
Alex
