How to change the default Konqueror file-manager view mode to Tree?
by Leslie Turriff 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

I use Konqueror for preference for all of my GUI file management tasks. Every time I open a new tab for a different directory tree it defaults to 'Icon View', and I have to change it (again). Is there a way to tell Konqueror to open a tab with 'Tree View' instead? Leslie

Kate can't remember to 'Hide Documents'
by Leslie Turriff 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

How can I "remind" Kate that I have set 'Window -> Hide Documents'? I've set it and saved it in the default session, but every time I reopen Kate, there's that irritating document list. I searched the forum archive, but though I've seen other folks complain about the presence of the document list, all of the responses seem disinclined to provide an actual solution to its presence. :-) Leslie

konqueror profile in kicker menu not sorted alphabetically
by Stefan Krusche 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Hello everybody, does anyone use konqueror profiles in kmenu? In TDE panel options/menu you can configure konqueror profiles to be included as a submenu in kmenu to be able to access them there. On my system these konqueror profiles in a submenu of kmenu unfortunally are not sorted alphabetically, so that it is very hard to make use of this feature when you have more than only a few profiles there. (Konqueror profiles accessed through konqueror's settings/"load view profile" submenu are sorted correctly, the same in "configure view profiles" dialog). Kate profiles shown in kmenu will sort properly, too. These extensions are configured in kickerrc: Extensions=katesessionmenu.desktop,konquerormenu.desktop and the according .desktop files are found in: /opt/trinity/share/apps/kicker/menuext The .desktop file calls for a library X-TDE-Library=kickermenu_konqueror which lives in: ./lib/trinity/kickermenu_konqueror.so ./lib/trinity/kickermenu_konqueror.la So there I reached binary/programming level where I gave up (I'm not a programmer), so I assume, this rather could be understood by one of the appreciated programmers of this community, which I would like to ask to have a look at the issue, if there is no solution on configuration level, which I possibly have missed and which is welcomed as well. Kind regards, Stefan Krusche KDE3/TDE user since the first release of KDE3 Berlin, Deutschland

You can configure windows, colors and icons for whole TDE in the settings, but I know of no customization for konqueror only (except the toolbars). Regards, Thierry

Troubles with kmail indexes recently.
by Gene Heskett 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Greetings; kmail has taken to forgetting its index pointers quite often recently, so when I revisit a folder, I often find the displayed msg is the first one in the list sort, which in 2 folders which have no expiry set, I often find myself re-reading a msg thats 14 years old and nearly 100K msgs older than the current last msg. I have two spam related folders I expect kmail will have to frequently rebuild because some spam messages caught by spamd & procmail might be written directly to the full path of that directory, and the script that runs sa-learn -spam on the spam folder, moves those messages to the spam-hold directory so in case it wasn't spam I can rescue it and move it to the ham folder. Since the email corpus here is quite a few gigabytes, is this an indicator that kmail needs a larger memory allocation?, and if so, how do I give it another 100 or so megs? According to htop, its only using 1% of the 8GB in this machine. This is a 32 bit, pae enabled install of wheezy, all uptodate as of 30 minutes ago.

Could you try the new script in attachment? Execute it at the command line with your city code as an argument. ex: ./GrabWeather KCKB If the script worked properly, there should be 2 files in ~/.wmWeatherReports/ directory: KCKB.dat KCKB.txt Their timestamp must reflect they were just created. When I execute it, ls -l ~/.wmWeatherReports/ gives me: -rw-rw-r-- 1 pascal pascal 98 Dec 10 07:10 KCKB.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 pascal pascal 601 Dec 10 07:10 KCKB.TXT If so the script worked as expected and you can install it safely in /usr/share/gkrellm/ Hope it will be OK this time :-) midi-pascal
