> Why don't you use file groups instead ?

Because:
a) I have to set the groups manually - so if I browse to somewhere and find 
something I didn't expect, I have to go to file groups and add another group 
by hand.
b) file groups are based on extension while Konqy's "type" is based on 
MIME-Types - much better distinction, especially for extensionless files.
c) the file groups aren't hierarchic , so I have all files from all of the 
directories. and if you use a lot of packages in Java, which any decent large 
java project will have, then its quite a mess.
d) with the file browser I can see files not directly under my project's home, 
with file groups I can't.
e) File groups can't be sorted by location.. ooohhh.. another bug ;-)
