I LOVE DOLPHIN; Columns view is the single biggest reason that I prefer
KDE over Gnome.  However, the columns view could be even better.

One difficult task is selecting a large chunk of files from columns
view.  Say that you have 300 pictures from your camera in a folder, and
you want to select 20 or so from the middle of the set.  I'd like to be
able to just rubberband them, but that is impossible.  The entire width
of the column is a click target for the files themselves, so I have to
select them one at a time.

If you added a few pixels of "background" space on the far right or left
of a column, I'd be able to initiate a click-drag action... currently,
you can only perform this from the bottom of the column, and then only
in situations where the list of files does not completely fill the
vertical space.

Google recently did this to their calendar app, and it makes a big difference:

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for your input, I fully agree that this should be fixed. I hope I
can fix this during KDE SC 4.6, but cannot promise a fixed schedule yet.

SVN commit 1184177 by ppenz:

Use DolphinTreeView as implementation for the columns instead of
QListView. This assures a consistent hover- and selection-behavior with
the icons-view and details-view.
