[opensuse-support] dolphin-su prefs
I cannot suffer windows without menu bars, editable location boxes, visible hidden files, and compact as default-view without a sidebar. How can I clone my 'user' settings including colors in kde, into the root folder? A larger scope question in fact, how to clone any user's all look-and-feel settings to any other user? PS. it's not a question about the wisdom of using an su file-managar nor about how to set the preferences like each time. -- "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue".

You will have to say what desktop. I would assume it is Plasma because your subject mentions dolphin, but then you say it is not about the file-manager. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

It's a can of worms, I've seen people ask for a Look&Feel CLONER ever since kde's day-one! By cloned L&F people mean same colors, styles, panels, icons on panels, THE WORKS. The user of the source home folder logging in as the target user should not be able to tell except by looking at qualified paths that he is not in his own hole. I try to avoid logging into X as root, done that too plenty of times before though. So this time I made a copy of a modified source home and removed stuff that couldn't possibly be a L&F material, replaced every instance of "/thatuser" with "/root". When complete I overwrote the /root folder with them. This is working so far. "My only angle" here is that when I launch System/FileManager-SuMode I want dolphin to be red and set up with a conventional menu, editable location window, and unhidden dot-files instead of the brain dead iPhone-friendly default 'paging' crap. Even my panel icon for this is distinctive (attached), can't see how in 20+ years no one has thought of accomodating such a common sense cloning utility.
