--- Comment #40 from flan_suse <windows2li...@zoho.com> --- The suggestion to make it an option has been shared multiple times, even on the other related bug reports. Everyone wins. This is not just about "hard to see the underline". This also involves workflow and QoL. Regardless if another fix makes the "highlight" easier to see, it still breaks using keyboard shortcuts. As noted by another user: You cannot simple hit "F2" after returning to the previous folder or closing the file. You must first intentionally select the file (again) just to do this basic task. When a file or folder is not *selected*, it breaks keyboard usage. Multiple examples were shared. Here are but a couple more: 1) You work/view inside a subfolder. After you're done, you go back and hit F2 to rename it. Rinse and repeat with many subfolders. 2) You open images in a folder, assessing whether or not to keep them. After closing a file, you can immediately send it to the trash or rename it based on your criteria. Some files get skipped, others need to be renamed or trashed. Repeat many times over. > You might want to report this to Ark developers instead of venting about it > in an unrelated bug report of an unrelated project. I was bringing it up because, as a user of KDE, there is obvious inconsistency about "protecting users from themselves". On the one hand it's really easy to accidentally trash files. With Dolphin, when you *delete* a single file or multiple files, it *selects* the next file in the folder. Now *this* file is at risk for "accidental deletion". On the other hand, it's the opposite. With Dolphin, when you *open* a file or *navigate* backwards, it *deselects* the file or folder. I mentioned Ark as yet another example of this inconsistency of the desktop experience. As a user of KDE who uses it every day, this inconsistent behavior comes off as unpolished, like a beta software still trying to find its identity. This wasn't the case until recently. We plead with you: Make it an *option*. Leave it as the default if you want, but make it an *option*. I would also recommend that Dolphin's behavior remains *consistent*, depending on whether or not the "protection" is enabled. "If I do *this* thing, it's easy to accidentally trash a file/folder, but if I do this *other* thing, then the file/folder is not selected." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
