Or, in Dolphin, hit F11 and get the information sidebar [also view => panels => information]. However, I think what Freek is missing is the pop-up image that appeared whenever the cursor was over a file; F11 is the nearest you get to that now.
The two mentioned examples are just cosmetic in my eyes, not "essential" facilities missing and apparently they even can be overcome.
I got the impression that something essential is missing, so I challenge you to come with such an example.
I really do not want to support this flame war or discussion actually. But if this could be accepted calmly, KDE4 is not usable for me due to several reasons. - Huge visual artefacts, sometimes the desktop icons appear over windows like in this image: http://storage0.static.itmages.ru/i/10/0726/h_1280136020_cc4731eca5.png Also the bottom border of all menu windows does not disappear with the menu and remains on the screen. Unfortunately I cannot make a screenshot of this because the garbage disappears when I press the screenshot button. It is possible to only photograph this with a camera. I have an nvidia card with proprietary drivers. - Removed spatial mode from file manager, I already mentioned. The file manager part has also other disadvantages such as huge gaps between icons. The bothe Dolphin and Konq use the same part. Also ugly file picker dialogs. - Impossibility to make the panel to use the same style as the Qt applications (that is different Qt and Plasma styles). Hence impossibility to use a classical panel style. - The panel elements, the taskbar buttons if the panel resized to smaller size, become too small. I do not like a thick panel that consumes vertical space. - Lack of pleasant styles and artwork. The styles corresponding to those from KDE3 look worser. For example, the Plastique looks much less sharp than Plastik and also affected with gigantism - all the elements and buttons are bigger. I also hated the previous Oxygen icon theme but now it became better. - Impossibility to remove the enema icon without removing the desktop icons or using a third-party plasmoid. This is complicated by the fact that any plasmoid can crash the whole desktop. - Regular Plasma crashes in unpredictable circumstances. - Reportedly broken kmail in KDE 4.8 so that even filtering on POP accounts does not work. - Problems inherited from Qt4, such as not working Russian shortcuts https://bugreports.qt-project.org//browse/QTBUG-5314 or autocomplete forsing the letter's register. ....and so on and so on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
