Description Ranjan Somani 2006-01-31 10:34:31 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I think there is no need of displaying the folder tree when a user wants to add
a new folder. The Place where he right clicks in itself is self-explanatory as
to where he wants to add a new folder.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:
user should be prompted for the name of folder at the place where the folder is
to be created.

Does this happen every time?


Other information:
If we do this there is no need to fix bug#317466 further.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-01-31 20:05:59 UTC 
no, as there are enough users out there which do not understand that they have to click on the *root* folder of the place where the new folder should be created.
do not expect every user to be a poweruser(TM). :-)

the root folder should be preselected, though.
Comment 2 Jeffrey Stedfast 2006-02-03 20:43:05 UTC 
there are other ways (other than right-click) that a user can open the "Create Folder" dialog - the filter editor and via main menus/toolbar buttons. You can't make those operate by creating the folder as a subfolder of whatever folder is selected in the main tree.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-02-04 15:33:32 UTC 
ranjan, comments? to me this is notabug or wontfix. at least setting to needinfo.
Comment 4 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-02-08 23:32:09 UTC 
Agreed to comment 2. The selected folder already is preselected in the dialog as parent folder.

NOTABUG, but a design choice.
