Would somebody please confirm the following two behaviors?
One
===
* Configure Konqueror to detailed list or tree view.
* Select a file.
* Use the keyboard cursor keys to move up and down the list.
The selection block follows the cursor keys but not the highlighting.
The highlighting seems to follow the cursor keys in icon view.
Two
===
* Create two empty files: 0001 and 0002.
* Rename 0002 to 0000.
Konqueror does not automatically refresh the list to resort the files. A
manual refresh is required.
History
=======
As far as I can see in my KDE 3 VM, both quirks are inherited from KDE3.
Would these issues be easy to fix before 14.1.0?
Thanks.
Any graphics wizards here?
I would like to transform the blue_glass.png and default.png panel
background images to blackish.
$TDEDIR/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/blue_glass.png
$TDEDIR/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png
I created a new pure black image but retaining the texture
shading/tinting of the original images would be nicer. I have no clue
how to do that.
Would be nice to add the new images to the tdebase package sources
before the 14.1.0 release.
Possible new file names:
blue_glass.png --> black_glass.png
default.png --> black_tint.png
black.png (the image I created)
Thanks!
I think this is linked to the new 14.0.1 pre version:
I use Konqueror to browse directories in Icon view. From there I click on a
directory (e.g. to check for a file), then out of this directory again (sort
of graphical cd <location>, cd ..).
- Previously , when I went one level up, Konqueror would show the top first
directories (even if I just came out of one of the bottom ones). For example
if I had just clicked inside directory "Window", when comming out Konqueror
would show the directories with names starting with A, B or C.
- Now, when I get out of a directory, Konqueror shows icons with names
starting with D, E, F or G.
I could undestand the former way (I supposed Konqueror simply always came back
to the top of the list), but I can't understand the "logic" of the "new"
behaviour. As the behaviour changed, that makes me hope it might be possible
to control it.

Another thorny Thinkpad issue. Running current TDE atop Debian Bedbug
(okay, Bookworm). Trying to run ProtonVPN, which blows up.
Had the same problem with the desktop and was able to fix it by in what I
think is the TDE network applet -- it doesn't identify itself -- in the
settings for ipv6 I disabled ipv6 (which ProtonVPN requires). But on the
Thinkpad install there is no such setting.
I need to disable ipv6; I would just as soon not edit /etc/sysctl.conf
unless I absolutely have to. Is there a TDE setting that lets me do this?

Decided to relax a little, but failed because I found a channel on YouTube called "NCommander," where a guy who knows his subject plays with old software. For instance, I watched him compile WinWord for OS/2 v. 1.2.
It was a very tense operation as I saw loads of long-forgotten OS/2 errors that in later OS/2 versions meant at least boot from floppy and from the third install floppy run fdisk (with some switches I've forgotten) or else the dreaded rf-ri -- reformat-reinstall.
But the real waves of dread came in the video in which he installed SLS Linux from 31 floppies. It didn't go well, but what got me were the parts that did. Installing Linux a quarter century ago was hell. It was a minefield.
Still, if you're not subject to nightmarish flashbacks, it's a pretty enjoyable video. The whole floppy-swap experience and everything. (Though he didn't get into editing Xf86config, which was half the . . . fun.)

I'm pretty sure this came with the last upgrade to TDE: I now regularely have
small windows poping up on the right bottom of my screen with messages that
look like "notifications" about something that just happened (mostly some
partition having just been mounted).
Yesterday I got a big, quick series of such "notifications" from my browser.
So quick in fact that I don't know what they were about. They do disappear
quickly too (maybe from their own or because I clicked somewhere ??).
Anyway, I was wondering if there is any playe in TDE where we can control this
new "feature". I looked in TCC but could not find anything new.
Oh! It's 14.1.0 (Development) from the PSB.
