Then your experience is sadly lacking if you are unable to open a terminal window in kde4. mc is *normally* installed and available on *most* distros.

Using the default install on at least 10.3, mc isn't installed by default. Why? I have no idea. I don't remember what I did on the install of 11.0. Maybe it's back as default. Either way, I make sure it's installed. Kinda like that swiss army knife of file managers..

Not hardly, but apparently you failed "reading comprehension".

So simply because he expects a graphical file manager to perform a basic task he is a "troll"?

You still fail to READ and COMPREHEND!

Then sir, I suggest you reread the *entire* thread and rethink the statements.

We did re-read the entire thread. User asked how to do something in Dolphin. You replied with a method to use a different tool. User said thanks but no thanks And you unloaded on her suggesting she was ignorant and a troll. Perhaps its you who needs to re-read the thread. After reading the entire thread one can only come to the conclusion you are still an ass. -- ----------JSA--------- Sig line deleted for the humor impaired. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Your answer indicates you are ignorant of your system, uninterested in an answer or just trying to pick a *fight*, ie: trolling.

Patrick is one of the long time gurus' on this list. He has probably forgotten more than many of us will ever know.

Is there anyway I can select a bunch of files in dolphin and compress them? Like the kde3 right cick>compress?

I've 11.0 with the kde 4.1 beta factory update from today.

MidNightCommander, mc, will do that in a text window. It already has a configured menu command.

Thanks.

L x I already requested that feature to be added in so that ark can be called up

Until this happens you should have KDE3's Konqueror and KDE3's Ark installed where you can do this, or use Midnight Commander, or the zip command. My answer, and the one above, is KDE4 specific due to Dolphin and KDE4's Ark lacking the ability you are looking for.

There is a bug report in on kde4-ark and it's problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
