Hansen (cyberbeat) Feature #309118, revision 5 Title: KDE: set default desktop as Folder view on ~/Desktop openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject reason: Not done. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jakub Talas (jtalas) Description: Instead of widget with this view, people are get used to (from Gnome, Windows as well as older KDE versions) to have icons on desktop without widget. This default setting doesn't affect possibility for users to add own widgets on desktop. Discussion: #1: Todd R (theblackcat) (2010-03-09 17:28:49) If the goal was to do what everyone was used to, KDE 4 would never have been created in the first place.  I think the new way of doing things is better in every way.  "Because we have always done it that way" is not a good reason in my opinion. + #2: H. Hansen (cyberbeat) (2010-11-04 14:34:09) (reply to #1) + This feature request and "Because we have always done it that way" + implies, that the requester liked it the way he done it "always + before", and he already tested the desktop with the default view and + did not like it. Second, the default view only disables to put icons on + the desktop (it would be a regression feature-wise if there would be + the ability to switch), no one is forced to put icons on the desktop in + folder-view. +   + The reasons why a user like one behaviour more than another may be + different, I have many reasons for keeping icons on my desktop, mostly + because I not only look at the desktop, but actually USE it, for + example for important documents/programs. +   -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309118
