--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Our own open/save dialog does this too, so it's a bit odd that Dolphin doesn't.

One concern is that this could make multi-selection using a box more difficult.
Indeed, the file dialog doesn't even implement this at all. Nonetheless, the
other file managers you mentioned seem to have solved this problem in a fairly
elegant way:
- click-and-drag upwards in an empty area = drag a selection box
- click-and-drag sideways in an empty area = drag-and-drop
- click-and-drag in any direction on an item's icon or label = drag-and-drop

I think it would make sense if Dolphin implemented this too (and then the file
dialog, for that matter)
