Hey Aaron

Tried to get a mail on the plasma mailing list but gmail returned with an
error. Could you please post the below message for me or tell me how to do
it?

BTW:  You're doing a great job. I always jump with joy (literally) when I
see a post from you on the planet. For me, plasma and kde4 are on the right
track.

Cheers

Christophe

I just love the folderview plasmid. IMHO it is the greatest improvement/new
thinking that the plasmoids offer at the moment. I see myself having a "File
Away" folder, a "Temp" folder and a "Current Project" folder and drag and
drop freely between. Greta job everyone (and Aaron, we all love you and of
course also all the other great developers. Your work is most appreciated by
most of us. All KDE lovers should be more verbal!).



One suggestion.  (draft picture attached)
I would like to have access to multiple (let's say max of 3) folders in the
same plasmoid. This would mean 3 lines one below the other at the top of the
plasmoid with the names of the 3 chosen folders. The current white line with
text is great. Hovering or cklicking on one of the lines would switch to
that folder in the bottom part of the plasmoid. Dragging an item over one of
the lines would automatically switch and I could easily drop it in one of
the chosen folders. I hope you get the meaning here. The size of the
plasmoid should stay constant but scroll bars should appear.

Just an idea. (Hmm I feel like learning QT now. Strange itching in my
hands...)

To everyone involved in KDE4> You all do a great job. I replaced my ubuntu
gnome completely with 4.1 beta1 already and everything feels so well thought
out. Who needs icons on the desktop when you have the same with folderview.
Even much improved.

Rock on…

Christophe
