Thanks, I think I need to use that app more often, it does have some
nice UI ideas. Thats constructive discussion. Indeed that could work, do
you know wether this is in kdelibs? If not it should be.

Hmm, I think the idea is good, but I'd like to keep the buildset list
still. Two reasons:

a) It allows to order items
b) It allows to more easily see all items in the buildset

Also the selection is "published" to the complete app, hence it can also
be used for other things.

I think with the above being implemented we should then adhere to
kde-setting for single/double click for activation. And for me
activating a folder means expanding it.
