I am talking redundancy. Crap is stuff that is inefficient or duplication.

I seem to recall you having interest in those restored snippets --- wanting to sort the file list or something like that. So here we are, both happy to be using somebody else's "useless crap." :)

I am not eliminating any features just making them follow standard dialogs. You will still be able to do it with all the features.

Also why would the old one stay default if the new one is better? Just because we are continuing KDE3 does not mean no changes can be made. If anything The new way show be default, users preferring can still easily choose the old way.
