One click on the "Show plasma dashboard" button brings the folder view applets to the front plane and into focus, without minimising any open windows.
I tried that, and it just appeared to show the desktop, without program windows.
A second click on any of the folders launches a dolphin session in split view mode with the selected target in one pane and my home in the other. The locations of the folder applets can be configured to work with a whole load of handy locations courtesy of our friends the kio slaves. ( ssh(fish), ipod, smb, to name just a few)
But how on earth are we supposed to know that? What would happen would be, I'd find configuring the panel at bottom go wrong, then I'd blunder around trying things. The terminology like "plasma dashboard" would not explain to me, what it was meant to do. I'd not think of clicking on a folder, and as I had default SuSE desktop, what was shown was not of particular interest to me. May be, it needs some kind of tutorial mode, a bit like games, which guide you through the basics to get you started? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
