Good to hear :-)

I think it was done this way in Konqueror for KDE 3, yes.

I don't know how Konqueror handles this, but I'm quite sure it will react on 
this already as it has it's own progress indicator.

We could merge the private methods "QString defaultStatusBarText() const" and 
"QString selectionStatusBarText() const" from DolphinViewContainer to a method 
"QString statusBarText() const" and move it as public helper method into 
DolphinView -> can be used by the Dolphin part :-)

Best regards,
Peter
