And another thing
by dep 25 May '21

25 May '21

No idea if this is a feature request or what. I'm dealing with an enormous directory that contains numerous subdirectories many of which contain subdirectories of their own, and so on. For some uses it would be very good to be able to tell at a glance which ones contain subdirectories. From the foggy distant past I remember some version of something wherein the icons changed color or had an asterisk or something when there were subdirectories present. So. Does anyone know of a file manager that has this feature? Or . . . Is there perhaps an icon set that would enable this feature? Or . . . Might this be added in some future release of TDE? Or . . . Is it just plain impossible with the current state of things? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

How to change volume increment/decrement value
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 25 May '21

25 May '21

Hi all, I just ran into this again: Where can I change the volume incerment/decremet value? My situation is this: kmix: mousewheel changes volume by 5 for the onboard soundcard, but by 10 for the PCI/USB soundcard. volume keys: change volume always by 10. T60: kmix & volume keys: I can set the inc/dec value kcontrol/system/IBM and it works as it should. So ... is there a way for non-thinkpads to set the volume increment/decrement value somewhere?

ksmserver crashes during logout
by J Leslie Turriff 25 May '21

25 May '21

Sometimes (not always) when I logout from my TDE session, ksmserver crashes and throws up a crash dialog, offering to send a report for support; but by that point it's not able to actually send such a report. The message I see in the dialog is | The application The TDE Session Manager (ksmserver) crashed and caused the Signal 11 (SIGSEV) It offers to send a crash report, and I can generate the trace, but it hangs when I try to send it (I presume via KMail, which is already gone). There's also a 'Save as' button which displays a file dialog, but it's only partially on the screen, and the window is not movable, so I can't fill in a filename. :-( Is there a way to collect the data from another login account (e.g. root)?

Other (?) xdg-open problem
by Thierry de Coulon 24 May '21

24 May '21

No idea if this is linked to the other xdg-open issues, but: At work we use software to telework and teach from home when necessary. This tool uses jitsi for the video part. If I use jitsi directly, everything is OK. If I click the "Call" button that, I imagine, starts jitsi with the correct "address", I get a window saying: Open xdg-open? https://kinaps1.gyb.ch wants to open this application [] Always allow kinaps1.gyb.ch to open links of this type in the associated app Clicking the "Open xdsg-open" button simply starts another instance of the browser. This happens whatever browser I use - although xdg-open always starts my default browser. Where - or what - should I look to understan what xdg-open is trying to do? Thierry

Tip: Keeping Find dialog windows from opening over text
by J Leslie Turriff 24 May '21

24 May '21

When searching in Kate/KWrite/KEdit/etc., the dialog window opens by default in the middle of the text window, hiding potential matches. If, in the 'Find' dialog window, one clicks on the left icon in the application's menu bar and go to Advanced => 'Special window settings' and enables 'Placement', 'Force', 'Under Mouse' in the Geometry tab, then goes to the Window tab and changes 'Window class' to 'Unimportant' (and makes sure that 'Window role' is 'searchdialog'), the Find window will then open centered on wherever the cursor is placed, instead of the middle of the text window.

Sharing mail folders between two local users
by J Leslie Turriff 21 May '21

21 May '21

To do software development, I'm setting up a separate account on my desktop machine (to minimize distractions), but I'd like read-only access to some of the folders (e.g. this mailing list) in my primary mail account. From what I've read, normally that would entail forwarding the mail through a mail system via another mail account; but since both users are on the same machine, can I just share the physical mail folders via symbolic links?

r14-xdg-update error 9 Revisited
by J Leslie Turriff 21 May '21

21 May '21

After upgrading, this has once again shown its ugly head.

Cheers > Michele I still don't understand what the entries in .config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu relate to, and why they cause this problem. Should I just blindly remove all entries that begin with 'kde-'? (Not the ones that begin with 'tde-kde-', presumably.) Do they have something to do with the .desktop files that appear in ~/Desktop/? This thing is a frustrating nuisance because there's effectively NOTHING beyond a few cryptic entries in Release Notes and the pop-up messages (which can't be copied, and don't seem to be saved anywhere. (Why is that?) if there is any documentation concerning this, I can't find it in the Wiki (beyond "Upgrading from KDE3 or from TDE 3.5.x to R14.0.x" in "Tips and Tricks", which seems to be pertinent but says nothing about recovering from errors), nor in the Documentation section. It seems to me that there needs to be some real documentation about recovering from this situation, written by someone who understands in detail what this stuff is trying to do.

Autostop
by J Leslie Turriff 20 May '21

20 May '21

When a new instance of the desktop is started, there are several ways to run scripts or applications automagically, e.g. files in ~/autostart. Is there some way to run scripts when the desktop is being closed?

Can't reset my gitea password
by J Leslie Turriff 19 May '21

19 May '21

Somehow the password for gitea in my password database has gotten out of sync with the gitea password. I used the "Forgot your password?" link, using this email address, to get a refresh token (twice now), but I never receive an email. Any suggestions?
