>From what I read, the main difference is OP developed a Dolphin plugin, whereas KRename is a separate app. If this plugin will get included in Plasma, then it will be immediately available in default Plasma installation. Whereas KRename is a special utility for specific usecase, which I don't think is a part of of default installation. I think a plugin discoverbility for a popular app might be a little bit higher than that of special application, which one wouldn't know about unless they specifically search for it. > HS
