Currently, whenever I hover over files, Dolphin will often become unresponsive as it fetches information about each file -- to me, this behavior is annoying and should be easy to fix. I would do it, except that I'm a Java/PHP programmer and don't have much experience with Qt -- although, if the issue still exists when I do become familiar with Qt, I intend to fix it (that may be a while).

Thanks @Dario_Andres -- that's the best news I've heard all day! "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Thomas Edison
