Hello, First of all thanks for Your answears. I was thinking that it should be still available but I really can't find it in Archlinux. I was searching with pacman and also on page: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?page=1&sort=&repo=Community&repo=Community-Testing&repo=Core&repo=Extra&repo=Multilib&repo=Multilib-Testing&repo=Testing&maintainer=&q=kdeplasma&arch=any&arch=i686&arch=x86_64&flagged= but there if no any package with name "folderview" or something similiar. It's really strange for me :/ Duncan thanks for alternatives - I will try to install something what You was describe me :)
