So what? Now you're going to discriminate against me because I took four weeks 
to update to current trunk and am just now asking about something I saw in my 
latest update? Go jump off a bridge.

We don't open folders in the kdevelop editor, so no, I'm not imposing an extra 
keystroke on you for folders. IMO, it makes sense to impose that extra 
keystroke for files though, since i'm wouldn't expect those to be added to a 
buildset very often.

Well, now you have a request to change it back. Perhaps I should file it on 
bugs.kde.org so you can just close it as WONTFIX since you seem unwilling or 
unable to give it any serious consideration?
