The concept of the right-click context menu has been around since forever but you don't have to be content with the defaults that come with your software, especially file managers. KDE's Dolphin and Konqueror are no exceptions.
I went from 11.1 GNOME to 11.2 KDE, and I noticed now that if I load an audio CD and open it in Dolphin, Dolphin does "stuff" with the contents: I see directories for Ogg files, for example.
Now, this looks like a cool feature, but how do I control the ripping process (bit rate, file names, etc.)? I can't find any settings in Dolphin that deals with this?
When a .desktop file is clicked on in dolphin, instead of the URL being used in Konqueror, some cache file is used. The file is apparently a copy of the page pointed to by the URL.
Hello,Marlin use extended-actions to provide contextual actions. They're all configurable via simple desktop files.
Hi all, I've a weird phenomena. I compiled most of the components for XFCE4.10 and that's what I'm running - on waldorf x64. I noticed, however, after compiling and installing Thunar 1.4, my custom actions are gone. I mean they don't even live on the menu anymore. So to be clear, when I right click on a file or a directory there are no custom actions.
OK, I have a (possibly) stupid question. IN Konq3 we could use the embedded text editor in order to preview a text file. How can I do that with Dolphin in KDE 4.3.4? Or, I cannot, because someone decided that it was an "advanced", or useless option?
Note that I have modified the file associations to allow that.
I'm trying to find a way of looking at my list of mp3, flac, ogg music files for the bitrate on each one. I was hoping that my default file manager of Nautilus would allow me to add a separate column to display it for each file. It does not.
I have since tried - Thunar, Pcmanfm, Dolphin, Krusdaer, Konqueror looking for the above capability - I can't seem to find it.
Spare a thought for old time stalwarts like Konqueror. Many great features have been stripped out but it's still a a great file manager (and a decent browser) even if Dolphin has been promoted as the default file manager of the KDE desktop. Back in the day, Konqueror was able to handle lots of media without having to open a separate application.
I really want to like Dolphin. It seems like it's very versatile as a file manager and would work great once I learn how to take advantage of it.
But I can't, it keeps crashing!
