inconsistency in konqueror

[Raul Fernandes]

No, no flamewars. You are right. Mostly advanced users use the keyboard to 
navigate through directories.
The two *bugs* that I consider is when I delete or collapse a directory, the 
iconview/listview doesn't update. IMHO, these two *bugs* make the konqueror 
inconsistent. Maybe, when delete or colapse a directory, the treeview emits 
the signal (executed() or clicked()) to update the iconview/listview. Is it 
ok??
Maybe, a future option to change the behaviour of konqueror (the arrows select 
the directory), if there are more user's resquests.
Other issue in konqueror is the selection of files in dirview. The developers 
of kde adds a new selection mode in klistview (filemanager). I think the 
selection mode extended in qlistview is enough, more mature and follow the 
"standard" for the GUI. What your opinions about to change the selection mode 
from filemanager to extended??

Thanks
