Another feature suggestion: It would be utterly cool to start typing and filter the files like e.g. the "Takeoff" plasmoid does: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=144078 Maybe you can use some code from there?

I meant we can add some option/parameter to switch behavior of popup window during folder changing. In our distro it will hide/show and resize window to fit contents, in KDE - keep size.

Hi Ural! > Resizing popup window to contents of folder is our feature. [...] > I think, we can make special version for KDE. I do not quite understand. Does this mean, that stack folders are a unique feature of your distro? At least the animated version? It would be really cool to share the animations too. If developed in public, people could contribute and improve it.

Hi Ural, I would also suggest to give the label text at least some shadows since the current white is somewhat hard to read: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/10/23/plasma-desktopr24762.png Yours, Andreas -- http://www.andreas-demmer.de signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

And hiding/showing popup window smooths resizing effect during folders changing. To open selected folder in the Dolphin you should press Alt-Enter or click on button on the right top corner. If it will be needed, I think, we can make special version for KDE. > The scrollbar actually work the other way around - dragging it up > scrolls down, dragging down scrolls up.

I have few suggestions for improvements - first of all don't hide and show the popup when you change folder, I wasn't sure what's happening when I clicked some folder in it, I thought Dolphin is being opened and then suddenly the same popup but different size showed up. So keep the popup visible all the time and don't change the size, keep it to some sane default. The scrollbar actually work the other way around - dragging it up scrolls down, dragging down scrolls up. That's inconsistent with the rest of the whole desktop. Also there's this project called Homerun which implements exactly this and it works quite nicely, even with breadcrumb navigation. Maybe you can contact Aurelien, the author, and share code/collaborate in the development?

Stackfolder inclusion to 4.10 [attempt#2]
Hi Aaron and Marco! I fixed the problems which you specified the last time: - icon decreasing on the panel (attachment - smallicon.png); - empty popup dialog (now it should show correctly) And also I changed path to the qml contents to /plasma/packages/org.kde.stackfolder. Now what else do I need to do to enter StackFolder in KDE 4.10? I remind that StackFolder is an independent applet and placed in a playground repo (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/stackfolder). Originally StackFolder is a fork of FolderView applet, that was redesigned to look like MacOS X Stask utility. It allow to browse the stack of folders and quick access to files and also may interact with another Rosa's utility - Klook to preview a wide range types of files (including playing video and audio). For the time being the GUI part of code is rewritten on QML. And recently we reworked StackFolder to PopupApplet. Now StackFolder has little in common with the FolderView.
