Creative direction of plasma

[asraniel]

As an outsider reading that mailing list, i would like to say that using 
kparts in plasma applets would be great. that way a folderview with all file 
actions the people are used to could made with a dolphin kpart with the 
normal applet background (would be like folderview, but with the normal 
dolphin file actions).

that way everybody could be happy :-)

I actualy once tried to add the rightclick menu of dolphin into folderview, 
but it seemed too complicated. And using the kpart would be much cleaner 
anyway.

have a nice day
