I desperately seek for the renaming option which once was in the general settings. Can someone please point me into the right direction? I absolutely hate the inline renaming and really toil with it a lot and like to go back to the renaming box which for me was much easier to use (and looks better and feels more comfortable ). If the option somehow accidentally got lost can someone please tell me how I can enable the renaming box in some configuration file instead?

fyi changing "RenameInline=true" to "RenameInline=false" in dolphinrc did not make any differece

For what it's worth, here a bug report regarding the issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304627

It's strange, I don't have "RenameInline" in dolphinrc in KDE SC 4.8 and I don't have the option in dolphin's settings anymore in KDE SC 4.8 - but I still have the renaming box in a KDE SC 4.8 installation, luckily. But in KDE SC 4.9 it is gone. I'd love to save that setting from KDE SC 4.8 to try to use it in KDE SC 4.9 too but I don't see where it is saved in KDE SC 4.8. Where might it be saved as it is not dolphinrc...

Seems like it was removed on purpose (but may be brought back): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304627#c4
