OK, now you have opened a can of worms... I still don't get Folderview.
Like you just said, why not put a folder icon on the desktop and just
use Dolphin ?   As a matter of fact, that is what I am doing right now.

What does Folder View give us that Dolphin doesn't ?   As a matter of
fact, there are a lot of things that FV doesn't allow that make it
frustrating for me.   Like you can't drag and drop files between two
folderviews, for example.

Like I said in a previous post, FV isn't working on my machine.  Its
freezing it up.  Don't ask me why.   So I am not using any FVs.  And
frankly, I am not missing them.
