Hello
Strange problem that I've been unable to find in archives.
Two users on this machine, Barbie and Ken
There are two directories, directory A has 16 jpeg files, directory B has 45 jpeg files.
When Barbie logs in and uses konqueror to go to directory A, all files are previewed and each icons become a miniature of its contents. When Barbie goes to directory B, all files are not previewed and instead all the icons become little painter's pallettes with a paintbrush.
When Ken logs in and uses konqueror to go to directory A or B, all files are NOT previewed and instead all the icons become little painter's pallettes with a paintbrush.
I was messing about w/ my wife and daughters logins and I noticed the same discrepancies Barbie and Ken did. On SuSE 9.0, kde3.2 the settings are in the Konqueror menu Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Previews & Metadata. Maximum file size is an important variable (I use 3.6 mb, your milage will vary) , we also all seem to have "Use Thumbnails..." checked in the same tab. Once this is done then Konquerors "View" menu View -> View Mode lets you choose "icon view", "detailed list view" etc, you need to choose "Icon View" to see previews. Then View -> Preview lets you choose what kinds of files to view previews of. I think (but am not sure) that the settings can be made permanent by selecting Settings -> Configure View Profiles select "file management" and then save. There may be a way to have each directory remember its own view settings but I'm not sure how. Hope this helps - -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com (formerly GoogleGear.com!) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFATUpYBwgxlylUsJARAn7MAJ9FEZzMv0eoESeHQVSs68O1JzthOgCfRivn lHXixb8L+U/6xSn8rlukVDA= =AF2M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
