That what you're looking for? That's exactly what I'm looking for -- except that it doesn't show up in Konqueror on my machine. fwiw, I'm using the kdeclassin icon theme. | Sometimes you have to refresh (F5) to see them though, so someone else | chiming in with a config option to force a refresh or something would | also probably be helpful... It would indeed! Thanks. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

No, it's just normal split view of the same thing; on the right I opened a directory to illustrate the phenomenon. I was using the only tree view I could find, which is found in the menu rendered when the view icon is invoked. | Ah, another thing, your left pane is not the standard ('tree'?) view | [edit: called "Navigation Panel"]. Notice my left pane does not have | any "NNN Items - NN Files" type info at the bottom. See if you can grab | and drag the very left most side of your Konqueror so it expands to show | the 'tree' view pane? | | Ohh!, also try clicking this: | | Window > Hide Navigation Panel F9 | | Hopefully that'll do it? That did indeed make the little side panel appear. Weirdly, I cannot change the font on this panel, which at the moment is much smaller than brings me joy. (Though there's a configuration setting for typeface and size for Konqueror in file manager use in the Konqueror configuration under Settings, it applies only to the text under icons.) Still, that will probably do -- thanks very much. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
