[Bug 47406] Re: Metabar issues (dapper)

[Brian Visel]

** Description changed:

  The sidepanel metabar could be really nice.  But some very basic
  behaviors (easy to say while I'm not implementing it ;-) are lacking,
- and there are some ui bugs (I think).
+ and there is at least one UI bug. (#2 makes it impossible to see
+ metadata on an item given the default values for clicking and selecting:
+ single-click to open on, select-on-hover off)
  
  1)  In Media:/ and possibly in /Media/ or whatnot at the right
  mountpoints, highlighting (like with a dragbox or by clicking, if
  single-click is off) should provide disk usage information, like the
  meta tab in properties.
  
  2) Highlighting a file with the dragbox, and then selecting it by
  clicking (or right-clicking) on it does not bring up info in metabar.
  
  3) Highlighting a file (or files) with the drag box does not bring up
  info in metabar.
  
  4) It would be nice if I could highlight a group of files (photos for
  example) and have common options appear in metabar (gwenview or
  whatnot).
  
  I'm pretty pleased with how Dapper's turning out.  Hehe.  I just thought
  someone ought to know this.  :-)
  
  (Mis-numbered.  sorry for the multiple edits - I hope it doesn't email
  you for each one)
