[kde-linux] Konqueror KDE-4.8 BRANCH

[James Tyrer]

I note that Konqueror lists the version as 4.7.97 but I updated the 
branch last night.

I find that the View Filter icon is now available again.  It can be 
placed on either the Location Toolbar or the Extra Tool bar although the 
toolbar name in the configuration dialog (Filter Toolbar <DirFilter>) is 
still wrong.  There is no Filter Toolbar; if it is going to be added to 
the Location Toolbar, that is what it should say.

I also note that the KDE throbber is back although it is on the Location 
Toolbar (putting it on the didn't seem to work with Qt.

I spent considerable time on the throbber and it is nice to see it again.

IAC, about the throbber, the largest that I made was 48x48 and wondered 
if KDE now needed larger versions, I have the SVN files and could easily 
make them.

So, Konqueror can filter by file extension and Dolphin can filter by 
string.  Did someone actually think about this design?  Obviously, you 
shouldn't have to use two different application for file management 
based on what you want to do.  Both apps should have both features.
