No way to select file on Folder-view plasma widget

[Sayak Banerjee]

Neither Ctrl+Click, nor hovering over it for sometime selects an icon on the folder-view plasma widget but all actions open/execute it instead.
If we wish to select, either we have to use the selection rectangle, or right click on it then click elsewhere to hide the right click menu.

Solution:
Either enable ctrl+Click to select, or implement the dolphin like selection by clicking on some (+) symbol on the icon.

Very true, should be forwarded to the Plasma product at http://bugs.kde.org

Folderview is basically the only Plasma component that is in kdebase rather than kdebase-workspace. (Excluding of course 3rd party plasmoids. ;-))

Resolved in KDE 4.2 :-)

Yeah, it has crtl click selection, which should be enough to satisfy the wishlist on our end.
