The feedback on bugs.kde.org has shown that the previous behavior
(= show size with best-matching unit) is preferred by most users.
I initially wanted to make this configurable, but for implementing
it in a non-hacky way extending KLocale from kdelibs would have
been required. I'm not sure whether the usecase in Dolphin justifies
having such a configuration in KLocale - however as kdelibs is frozen
at the moment this is no option and the old behavior has been
restored.

- Handle 'Context Menu' settings as part of the services
- Handle 'Version Control' settings as part of the services
- Move the confirmations-settings into own tab
- Use combobox for view-property settings
- A lot of minor spacing cleanups
It is up to the plugins to decide what sensible size is required for
creating a preview, this cannot be decided by the user for all
plugins. A maximum size only makes sense for remote files, where
the user implicitely decides how much of the bandwith may be used
for having previews.

Aligning the control-button to the right of Dolphin has the problem
that sub-menus might be opened on the left of the menu if the Dolphin
window reaches the right of the desktop. So the toolbar-spacer has
been removed and a default label has been applied to the control-button
to increase the target-area for opening the menu.
When dragging a file within the same Dolphin window and the Ctrl, Shift
or Alt-key is pressed the shape of the cursor was not changed to
indicate the copy/move/link-operation.

The option is currently hidden as up to now only Nuno requested it,
but it seems to be urgent: "my icon making productivity has drop subtantialy"

As I don't want to get blamed for an outdated Oxygen-icon-set I have
no other choice ;-)

When filtering items it might be possible that the update of
the widgets is wrong although the model internally has a correct
state.
BUG: 297269
FIXED-IN: 4.8.3
Metadata like image-size, rating, comments, tags, ... can be shown
now in the view (e.g. as column in the Details mode).
Still open: The rating-information needs to be shown as stars.
In the context of this feature also the following bugs have been
fixed:
- Fix visual glitches in the header of the Details mode
- Improve the minimum column width calculation to respect also
the headling and not only the content
BUG: 296782
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
It's now possible to change the timeout, after which any call of
KItemListKeyboardSearchManager::addKeys(const QString&) starts a new
search, from the default value of 5000 milliseconds. This is not used
in Dolphin at the moment, but it permits to reduce the timeout to a
small value in the unit test. Before this change, the unit test took
more than 5 seconds to complete.
(cherry picked from commit 82fc1b54bd)
The previous timeout [QApplication::keyboardInputInterval()] was too
short to do a multi-letter search for users who do not type extremely
fast.
(cherry picked from commit 02eab49b2d)
- Remove KItemListView::preferredRoleColumnWidth() and allow implementing
this as part of derived classes from KItemListWidget. Those derived
classes are aware about the layout and hence also can provide the
preferred role width.
- Make KItemListView::itemSizeHint() non-virtual and also allow
implementing the size hint as part of derived classes from KItemListWidget.
Let derived classes from KItemListView just implement
preferredColumnWidth() for one role of an item instead of returning
a hashtable for a given item-range.
Until now when a new column is added in the case where custom column widths
are used, the automatic resizing has been turned on again. The patch fixes
this so that the current widths stay and the new column gets a proper default
width.
If the user changed a column-width in the details-view, up to now
the width got reset when changing a directory or when restarting
Dolphin. Now the column-widths automatically get remembered for each
directory in case if the user has modified the width. The automatic
resizing is still turn on per default. The storing of the custom
column-width can easily be reset by right clicking on the header and
selecting "Automatic Column Widths" from the context-menu.
Some finetuning is still necessary (e.g. the "Adjust View Properties"
dialog currently is not aware about this setting) but this will
be fixed during the next weeks.
BUG: 264434
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
With the new view-engine the name-column always has been expanded
to the maximum width of all available names. But this makes it
impossible to see other columns without scrolling when having long
filenames, so per default the Dolphin 1.x behavior has been applied
to the new view-engine so that the name-column-width gets decreased
to be able to show the other columns.
This patch will be released with KDE applications 4.8.2. For
Dolphin 2.1 (KDE applications 4.9) user-modified widths of the
columns will be remembered per directory also between different
sessions.
CCBUG: 264434
When downloading images from e.g. the camera-IO-slave the files
will be downloaded as *.part files and renamed afterwards. The renaming
results in an undetermined mimetype and hence the probably already available
preview or icon gets replaced by a dummy icon. The patch fixes this by
keeping the old values as long until they have been resolved by
KFileItemModelRolesUpdater.
The comparison of expanded trees may not assume that directories
are always sorted first and must respect the "Sort folders first"
setting.
The sorting-unittest has been extended by a sub-tree and the usecase
of bug 296437. The already deactivated test for
KFileItemModel::expandedParentsCountCompare() has been completely removed
as it has been replaced by testSorting().

FIXED-IN: 4.8.2
Now KFileItemModel provides a way to access the available roles
including their translations. Note that the 3 roles "comments",
"rating" and "tags" have not been implemented yet in KFileItemModel
and turning them on does not work currently.
Currently Dolphin is only capable of showing a fixed number of
roles (e.g. name, size, date, owner, ...). Dolphin 2.1 should
support also other roles like rating, tags, comments or other
meta-information of images or audio-files.
To support this the sorting-type and additional-type from
DolphinView has been replaced by a role-type represented as
QByteArray.
