Neither is what I want. How can have the nice previews with file info in Dolphin, similar to Konqueror's preview?
I don't see your examples. Sorry.
What do you mean you don't see them? Don't the links work for you? Or you don't see what I want to present?
I don't see what you are trying to present. They both look the same and there's nothing beside the line item. You realize, I hope, that Konq can display in line item mode and in icon mode?
I still use Konq as a file browser in KDE4, not Dolphin. I realize that Konq is really just another skin around the Dolphin
That's likely true. I have also tried KDE4 konqueror. Regarding previews it behaves the same as Dolphin.
Sorry. I use 'Konq' rather than typing 'Konqueror'. If course it behaves the same, I said it was just a skin. The same libraries are used! Use 'ldd' to see.
I have preview turned on. It gives me a preview of the files that I have told it I want a preview of. Of course i have installed
kdegraphics-thumbnailers kde-odf-thumbnail GimpResourcesThumbnailer
I have the top first two as well, haven't checked the last one.
I have Konq set up so that it shows the previews ALL THE TIME, not just when mouse-over.
I guess I know what setup you have. Both Konqueror and Dolphin offers two types of views: preview off, and preview on. You can set up the size of the file type icon for both. For me even is I set the preview icon size large, it does not show the preview of the file, it only show that it's a pdf file (pdf file type icon).
Right! That means EITHER you don't have the appropriate thumbnail set installed. OR you haven't enabled pdf thumbnails Toe enable them, make sure you have settings -> services -> configure [x] preview this file settings -> general -> [x] Postscript, PDF and DVI files you might want to enable some others while your in "general" Oh, and install servicemenu-pdf while you're there :-)
So it even doesn't work like that. Even if it showed the previes it would not be useful since the icon size has to be set too large. What I want is a normal detailed list view with normal size file type icons and if I hover over a file I want to see a large preview. That is want to see one preview at a time and not all the previews of all files. I don't know if it is clear what I mean.
Yes. And as I said, even if there was a 'hover' mode, which I don't see in Konq and I don't use Dolphin so simply don't know, I wouldn't use it. It would be to annoying having those pop out and disappear as I move the cursor! Annoying and distracting and dysfunctional.
Your graphic shows a preview plus 'file statistics' side by side. In KDE4/Konq these are shown separately, or at least that's the way I have them configured. There may be a setting for this, I don't see one, but I'd find pop ups like that as I move the cursor very annoying.
It doesn't pop up imemediately on hovering. You have to keep the pointer over the name for a few (2-4) seconds.
Presumably that time delay is configurable? Still annoying. I want things done ONLY when I instruct it. oh, and I turn off tooltips. Just in case you wondered. Who knows? Maybe its tooltips you want?
When I want that information on a file, either I configure Konq so that its displayed along with name or I click and then select Action->Document information That gives me more than your example shows because I have it configured that way.
The preview is a different type of information. In case of a pdf file it show the the firs page of the document in a readable size. If you have to find a specific file not knowing its exact name, you can identify the specific file much easier without having to open them one by one.
I understand that. I use that technique. But I don't need a mouseover/popup to achieve that. I have ALL the PDF documents in the folder previewed so I can see the first page on each of them. IIR there's some sidebar option in Dolphin that gives the preview+details. As I say, I don't use Dolphin.
Part of your problem is that ... You've bought a 4Runner and expect it to have **EXACTLY** the same cabin and controls all in the same position as you old Blazer.
Mosty agree with one important exception: my new car is still branded as 4Runner but a newer edition. I don't want to turn this into a KDE3/KDE4 rant. I just miss very useful features existing in KDE3 but not in KDE4.
Sounds like a KDE3/KDE4 rant to me.
I am still not sure if the mode I want is missing from KDE4 or I just could not find out how to make it active.
There is a LOT in Konq/Dolphin that is optional or that you have to install a package to achieve. Some of it is internal tools and not zypper/RPM. I prefer this plugin approach to having the all-inclusive bloat that is inescapable because that was the way it was coded. I hate 'one size fits all' designs, be they clothes, cars or software. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
