Now that I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.5, I am also occasionally running KDE 4.1 applications (all of which were installed without any express request on my part, presumably as part of some dependency or pattern). KDE 4.1 applications have their own file save dialogs and these dialogs are defaulting to single-click navigation, which I dislike.
How / where can I change this KDE 4.1 option?
To this point, I've read the whole thread through Sven's Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:33:07 +0100 post. Upon reading all but the last two, I booted up the only system I have here that has 100% KDE4, a Mandriva Cooker system last updated 7 Oct 2008. I booted runlevel 3, deleted ~/.kde and ~/.kde4, then did startx; konsole; systemsettings, and went to keyboard/mouse settings. Its default was 2 clicks. I closed systemsettings and konsole and logged out. Then I renamed ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde-double and ~/.kde4-double, then did startx; konsole; systemsettings, went to keyboard/mouse settings, changed from 2 clicks to single, saved, closed systemsettings & Konsole, logged out, and renamed~/.kde and ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde-single and ~/.kde4-single. Last I compared the contents of those renamed directory trees.
Looks like if Cooker works like 11.1, the answer you want, as long as you don't want to install enough of KDE4 to have a /usr/bin/systemsettings to run, is to in ~/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals change from SingleClick=true to SingleClick=false.
Please quote me, if I said anything different. If you do not want to use kde4 apps, you can install the kde3 apps, which he did not do, although he can do it, as he said himself. So, if you read http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-01/msg04032.html , I gave him the answer you lined out in your email, i.e. you need systemsettings to change the behaviour. So, in order to change it, you have to install kde4, i.e. kdebase4. If you do not want to change it or do not want to use the apps, you have to install the kde3 apps.
PS - I think Sven probably owes an apology to Randall about his responses in this thread.
Sure, if you can quote me telling him that he wanted to install KDE4 apps or in case he does not know how to install kde3 apps. None of which is true. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
