* Restore current item and selection after resorting the model [[User:Freininghaus|Frank]] 21:14, 27 September 2011 (BST)
* Show any kind of meta-data as part of the view (see http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2012/01/dolphin-20-status-update.html "Outlook for Dolphin 2.1")
* Details view: Fix issues with the horizontal scrollbar and the column-sizes [[User:ppenz|Peter]]
* Use inline renaming as default
* Move KDirLister into KFileItemModel and don't pass it in the constructor. This also means that some API-extensions for KFileItemModel are required (e.g. progress-indication)
* Use KMessageBox (see http://agateau.com/2011/04/21/kde-ux-2011/) for error-messages instead of showing them in the statusbar. This should also simplify the statusbar a lot.
* Forward error-messages from folder panel. E.g. currently when dropping something above a read-only folder in the folder panel no feedback is given.
* Remember column-widths per directory when changing it by the user. Don't forget a kind of "Reset"-entry in the context-menu to make it possible to use the auto-expanding again (see bug 264434)

Known regressions in the master branch are listed here.


* Keyboard navigation only works if the view has been clicked before.
* Holding Shift + mouse wheel scroll doesn't increase scroll rate like it does in any other KDE app.
* When clicking in the empty space below the items and then moving the mouse down and out of the window while the mouse button is pressed, items may disappear from the view. See {{Bug|282353}}. Screencast available in the bug report.


===Sorting Issues===
* KFileItemModel::setExpanded(): Is still true after calling removeExpandedItems() (see mail from Frank "Re: Minor issue KFileItemModel with expanding items" 25.11.2011 00:05).
* Sorting folders by size (i.e., number of items) does not work yet.


===Split View Issues===
* <s>"Create New Folder": the new folder is neither the current item nor selected. See {{Bug|291064}}.</s> Fixed for 4.8.4.
* Open a folder in split view, and create a new folder. The right pane won't show the correct icon.


* Right click on any item in the left view, and it doesn't "actually" get selected. You can confirm this by opening the properties of the item, it will show the current directory properties and not the selected file properties. If you right-click on a file on the right view, it shows what it should. After doing this, it starts to work for the left pane also.
* When clicking the "Close" button next to a status bar message, the close button does not disappear. See {{Bug|291351}}. Note that KMessageWidget will be used in 4.9, so this should not be an issue any more.


* Try renaming a file in any of the views and refresh, the changes are shown only on the right one.
* <strike>Entering a new empty folder will not change the status bar text. See {{Bug|291641}}.</strike> Fixed for 4.9.


* Select an item in the right pane, and right-click on any other item in the left one, click on properties. It shows the information for the one selected in the right pane.
* Icons size sliders in the settings dialog do not have tool tips any more. See {{Bug|292700}}.
 
===Bugs That We Could Not Reproduce Yet===
* Crash in KFileItemModelRolesUpdater when deleting the current folder in Konsole and then moving out of the folder. See {{Bug|282340}}.

Planned tasks for 2.1

This section lists the things that are planned for the 2.1 version.

  • Show any kind of meta-data as part of the view (see http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2012/01/dolphin-20-status-update.html "Outlook for Dolphin 2.1")
  • Use inline renaming as default
  • Move KDirLister into KFileItemModel and don't pass it in the constructor. This also means that some API-extensions for KFileItemModel are required (e.g. progress-indication)
  • Use KMessageBox (see http://agateau.com/2011/04/21/kde-ux-2011/) for error-messages instead of showing them in the statusbar. This should also simplify the statusbar a lot.
  • Forward error-messages from folder panel. E.g. currently when dropping something above a read-only folder in the folder panel no feedback is given.
  • Remember column-widths per directory when changing it by the user. Don't forget a kind of "Reset"-entry in the context-menu to make it possible to use the auto-expanding again (see bug 264434)

Missing Dolphin 1.x Features

Dolphin 1.x features that are still missing in the master branch belong here.

  • Moving of columns in the details view. Would be great having it back for 2.0, but let's fix the open other issues first before starting with this. Fixed for 4.8.2 (Bug: 164696, Commit: b62c74ec4cc891bc5fafeeafe67dbcc1d17fd445)
  • Inline renaming is not possible. Fixed for 4.9.0 (Bug #286893, commit 8f9f877e4d18011defc3c6191e745cda080000ab). It is planned for 2.1 to make inline renaming default and to solve the missing "OK"/"Cancel" issue (some people have problems to finalize the renaming by pressing RETURN with the inline renaming from Dolphin 1.x).
  • Horizontal autoscrolling for the Folders Panel. Won't be implemented for 2.0 anymore: Let's wait for feedback first - if the autoscrolling will be requested again let's bring it back in 2.1.
  • No selection toggle in the group headers.
