Following the latest round of KDE updates I noticed two undesirable
effects
and I would be grateful if you could point me to a way of reverting
them
to
their old behaviour:
1. Konqueror is no longer integrated with dolphin as a file manager.
When
I click on Konqueror's Home Folder on its introductory page, a new
window
is launched with Dolphin.
I believe this is due to latest Konqueror being KDE4-based and latest
Dolphin (and therefore dolphinpart) being KF5-based. As a workaround,
try downgrading Dolphin to 4.14.3-r1.
2. Dolphin now requires a double click to open directories. Where can
I
set this to a single click? I've looked in dolphin Preferences and
systemsettings5 but I can't find where to change it to a single click
operation.
Try System Settings -> Input Devices -> Mouse -> Single-click to open
files and folders.
Thank you Michael, I already had this setting enabled. Clicking on the
arrow at the left of the directory expands the contents of the tree, but
to
get into it, to descend into that level on the filesystem, you have to
double click on the directory itself.
Similarly, files do not open unless I double-click on them. :-/
I've noticed that 'emerge --depclean' removed kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves
and revdep-rebuild didn't bring anything else in (yet). Could this be
why konqueror-dolphin integration is borked?
You might have a point there. I have kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves
installed here and my konqueror works as you want your's to. My deps for
that package:
# equery depends kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves
* These packages depend on kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves:
kde-apps/mplayerthumbs-15.12.3
(>=kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves-4.14.3:4[aqua=])
media-gfx/digikam-4.14.0-r1 (kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves:4)
media-sound/amarok-2.8.90-r2 (>=kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves-4.4:4[aqua=])
and I have these konquesror/dolphin packages installed:
kde-apps/konqueror
kde-apps/konq-plugins
kde-apps/libkonq
kde-apps/dolphin
kde-apps/dolphin-plugins
Thank you Alan, I just re-installed konq-plugins and then kdebase-kioslaves to
see what happens. Konqueror no longer opens dolphin in a separate window, nor
does it open dolphin embedded in it as I want it. Instead it opens FSView -
showing colourful rectangles of sizes proportionate to the size of each file.
Looking under Konqueror's menu/View/View Mode, I only have 'File Size View'
available. So I must be missing something else on this box.
I'm on stable versions:
kde-apps/konqueror-15.12.3
kde-apps/dolphin-15.12.3-r1
Interestingly, the introductory page of Konqueror shows no images for the
icons ... just empty placeholders. Also, I just noticed something weird ...
menu/Help/About Konqueror shows "Version 4.14.16" instead of 15.12.3.
Oh well, I am assuming KDE will get better over time. O_o
Does "eix kioslaves" show anything you don't have installed? A long time
ago I recall installing all of those I thought I might ever need, and
several issues just went away.
One of the reasons binary distro users don't have as many issues as we
Gentoo'ers is the binary distro installs everything from the KDE
project, and we get to pick and choose, often wrongly :-)
