Is it possible to drag a folder from the Desktop to dolphin? When I do it it just moves behind the dolphin window. What a Pain!

If i remember correctly, this is a suggestion for addition in 4.1.

You can't do much with the Desktop. I can't even drag a file on the desktop to a folder. it reminds me of when I had to use XFCE and have a file manager open all the time.

You aren't and is one reason, among many, that I refuse to install KDE 4 anywhere. Eventually, "4" will be great, but it's a long way off, IMHO.

Fred I see that 4.1 is due next month. Will SuSE provide an upgrade for us? Or is

it easy to install anyway.? Actually I'm thinking of going back to 3.5 until this drag and drop thing can get sorted out.

You can install KDE4.1 now by selecting the appropriate repository. The 4.1 is not the 'final' release but you can see what it may or may not contain.

you guys are having problems in drag and drop between desktop and dolphin, i can't even drag drop in dolphin. when i try to drag and drop a folder or file in another it crashes. any solutions, except for waiting for kde 4.1? [:D]

I wonder why they called it DOLPHIN? It's normally a mill-stone which is around one's neck or, for a mariner, an albatross around the neck.

More importantly, what did they do with Kong filemanager mode? Kong was one of the best filemanagers around. I loved the ability to link a shell to the current directory window.

While I always use mc (Midnight Commander) as my preferred file manager, I do use konqueror, in file manager mode, on occasions to view graphics (jpgs, gifs). For this reason I support your comment that 'Kong' is one of the better file managers around - and "The Albatross" is simply that, an albatross. Sorry, I meant to state dolphin.

If you like mc (dual pane filemanager) try Krusader - its KDE GUI with lots of functionality. I'm a real keyboard freak, and Krusader provides really great shortcuts to almost all file actions. (very annoying that most modern interfaces are totally ignoring the keyboard these days)
