[Panel-devel] Icons settings in the desktop config gui

[Beat Wolf]

Hi,

just wanted to give some input as a user.
The new icon plasmoid is nice but it has the following problems:

-you can't select multiple items on the desktop to copy them, or whatever 
other action you want to do. The files on the desktop should behave the same 
as in dolphin/konqueror, or else the user is going to be very frustrated.

-on a dark background you can't see the file names, since they are written in 
black and you can't change the color of the text.

-you can't drag the files/folders when clicking on them, you have to click on 
the border to do this.

-you can't resize the files/folders, the resize process seems to work, but at 
the end the size of the icon stays the same

so, i hope that little input was usefull.

thank you and have a nice day
