Having to open a terminal, do an ls -a, copy a file name and paste it into the mozilla or konqueror or whatever open dialogue box is beyond unacceptable. Is there a global option lurking about somewhere? FC3 Final, KDE 3.3.0-5 Red Hat

I've been using PC's since I was 12 or 13, and it did not take me long to learn that many things can be accessed through a right click, and it became the second, or first thing to try. I personaly do not feel that "hiding" some thing behind right clicks makes it harder to use, and I would rather the interface was not cluttered up. I like the interface where right clicking on files, or Cell's in Calc, or highlighted words in Write, or Links in firefox, or emails in evolution (should I go on with the or's?) gives a context menu and additional options. A user is greeted with this in all of the applications they use, I don't see why it should not be the same in the drop down list. However, that being said, it may be advantagous to have some thing like "show hidden files" and a check box, that has it stated remembered for certain directories (I would almost never want it in ~/). Well just my breif, garbled thoughts. Doug
