This commit introduces an action which creates a new folder with a name
specified by the user and moves all the currently selected items there
in one go.
This action is implemented as a KFileItemActionPlugin which means users
can disable it on Dolphin's context menu settings page.
BUG: 484555
The exact effect of the button is not perfectly clear without a
label because it could theoretically also have no effect other than
dismissing the bar (which is not the case). This situation is
clarified through this added label.
The tooltip of the button is adapted to complement the new button
label.
Items should only be selected if the user wants to act on them.
However, previous to this commit we sometimes selected items even
when there is no reason to assume that the user would like to act
on them. Such selections are dangerous because they make it more
likely that the user manipulates items by accident which they
never even explicitly selected.
Example: The "Up" action is used to navigate to the parent folder.
This will implicitly select the folder one emerged from after
opening the parent folder, so just one accidental press of the
Delete key will lead to data loss if the press goes unnoticed. This
scenario would have been avoided if no folder had been selected
automatically.
The above example becomes even more dangerous if the user is acting
with elevated privileges.
The following implicit selections of items are being removed:
- Selecting items that are being activated
- Selecting folders one emerges from
Even though these items will no longer be selected after these
actions, they will still be marked as current.
The only downside I see is that our indication of which item is "current" is a lot weaker than the selection highlight, so it might be more difficult to spot which folder one has emerged from. However, this could be counter-acted with some other temporary indication if this really turns out to be a problem.
