Description:
This is an idea about opening files in KDE4.
Simply put there should be two different methods for opening files:
1. For opening the file for viewing/annotation in a viewer application such as Okular, Gwenview, Konqueror, Kaffeine or Amarok.
2. For opening the file for editing in an editor application such as Kword, Krita, Quanta or Kino.
There are obviously numerous different possibilities for providing these two methods, and thus it should be user-defined. Nevertheless, a couple of options would be:
- Single click to view, double click to edit. (really fast, but hard to learn to distinguish between the two actions consistently)
- Click (or double click) to view, the same with a modifier key to edit. (a bit slower, but easier to distinguish between the two)
The main objective here is to consistently get rid of the massive overkill of opening a big application such as OpenOffice or Krita just to look at a file and also to provide a clear and consistent distinction between viewing content and authoring/editing content.
Obviously the main benefits of this addition will be realised only with a comprehensive set of very lightweight viewers for a plethora of file formats.
