keditbookmarks: renaming folders is confusing

[Alvin]

Bookmark Editor 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 7.10 beta)

Renaming folders with keditbookmarks is confusing.
Select a folder in the left pane, Edit --> Rename (F2) does not do anything, and there is no output in the console either.
Renaming folders when selected in the right pane works, but is difficult (Bug #280709)

Are you selecting a folder from the left pane of the window or from the right pane?
By default, clicking the bookmark folder from the left pane puts its info in the bottom right editing fields.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

I'll confirm with the updated description. ;-)

[Alvin (alvind)]

You are correct. I didn't even try to rename by using the right pane. The description is corrected, because I think I will not be the only one who finds this confusing.

Upstream report filed & linked.

Version: 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2) (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler: cc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-5-generic

If somebody selects a bookmark folder from the left pane and tries to rename it. (Going to Edit -> Rename) nothing will happen. Yet if the user double-clicks the bookmark in the left pane, the text will be able to be changed inline.

If there is a way to rename folders from the left pane, I think it would be pretty okay to expect the Edit -> Rename menu item to activate this feature.

For now we will be tracking this bug at it's KDE bug report at: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172860
Once KDE commits a fix Kubuntu will receive it when the KDE release with the fix is packaged/released.
