Something I never encountered, as I love F4 pulling up a terminal. We want three folders… the first scenario we want ~/1dog ~/2cat ~/3pig so we can do mkdir -pv 1dog 2cat 3pig. The second scenario we want ~/1dog/2cat/3pig so we can do mkdir -pv 1dog/2cat/3pig. As I’m typing the names, I go all in …

[image] ben2talk: It is now consistent -whether you like it or not - and it’s time to mark this issue as solved. Where’s this coming from now? Because I’m pretty sure just a few posts earlier we came to a completely opposite consensus. It is not consistent, the change created more inconsiste…

[image] amilias: It is not consistent, the change created more inconsistencies than it supposedly corrected and the bug is far from resolved. I just tested it again to clarify… The previous issues were as follows: If you Click to select a folder and then Click to create a new folder, that …

[image] ben2talk: So now, as long as you check the selection status, it is consistent and that bug is fixed. Yes, if we were to circle back to this specific “flipflop” behavior, it is indeed fixed in a way (I’d still argue otherwise [1] ) but we are long past this point and the discussion has a…

[image] amilias: edit: I just noticed you edited/extended your post, so keep in mind this was a reply to the earlier version. Yes, it’s a regression if you want to create 1 2 3 not nested… I definitely agree with this. I’m afraid that I always found GUI clicking to be clumbsy for many tasks …

[image] ben2talk: Click to enter a folder if you want to work inside it. Well, this is something I (any many others, it seems) can agree with. So I think we should go back to discussing how we can improve the UX while still rolling back this change in its current form. I think the suggested …

[image] ben2talk: and I would prefer it just ignore the current selection altogether and make it a more manual task; Click to enter a folder if you want to work inside it. YES! Exactly this!

I was guided to this discussion from here: https:// discuss . kde . org /t/new-folder-is-created-inside-of-selected-folder/42754 (broken link because of platform rules - interesting that not even internal links are allowed) IMHO creating a new folder inside a marked folder in dolphin is not a good …

[image] subject-delta: IMHO creating a new folder inside a marked folder in dolphin is not a good implementation I disagree with this - but the text ‘create new folder’ is ambiguous and doesn’t tell you where it’s going to go… So if the text was contextual, if you pressed your shortcut - a c…

[image] ben2talk: I disagree with this Why, though? You wrote yourself just a bit earlier that you’d rather enter the directory and create a new folder in view. Your proposal seems like a lot of work to make something optional that no one so far has come up with a reason as to why it should e…

I think you should be able to do with the keyboard the same you do with the mouse and create a subfolder.

YES! Exactly this!

New folder is created inside of selected folder
