Inode/direcory popup hint.

[Enrico Ros]

Hi all,
 I'm linking here a mockup about a little change that has to be done on the 
popup menu when clicking on Folders.

--  First the problem:
  If you have "Ark konqueror integration" or the "quick copy and move" plugins 
or maybe other apps that integrate in the konqueror popup menu as 'Actions>' 
when RMB clicking on folder, you may be the one to notice the problem.
  Open your home, right click on NOTHING (empty space, the background) and 
what you get? "Compress as Zip"? "Add to Amarok playlist"?
  So, you click on space representing an Inode/directory (as when you properly 
click on a folder) but the user is asked to "Open Terminal here".. (on empty 
space? on the konqueror window?).

-- Then a solution:
Do I have a solution? Not, but a nice workaround.
  I think a Title should be inserted on the popup to show the mimetype or path 
of the folder that the popup refers to. Some possible texts:
"(icon) Folder"
"(icon) Home"
"(icon) /path/to/folder"
"/path/..older"
"...o/folder"
i18n("Your great folder containing 140 files").

So an user thinks "Home folder->compress" (and doesn't do it!!) or 
"/root/MyMusic -> Add to Amarok playlist"..
Isn't it nice ?

-- Then the screenies:

With a quick&dirty mod: (kolourpaint rulez)

I have no time now (pushing kpdf for release) but if positive feedback is 
raised _you_ can try to make the patch :-). Or maybe I'll do it before xmas 
'06. ^_^

Ciao,
Enrico
