I tried to write the chapter about the file manager. There are two problems in my proposal: Don't know how to make a subsection (so I just called it which is irritating, I know that!!! Please fix it). And I couldn't imagine a scentence in the "Icons" section. Gr??e, Christian // ------ FILE: the-filemanager.docbook ------- // Christian Weickhmann The File Manager Folders The file manager comes up with two columns open: The folder view and the sidebar. The folder view contains icons for each item inside the current folder. These items can be folders of files. Files containing special information like text, PDF or HTML files can be displayed with a preview function. You will be able to see what they are about before you actually open them. Every item will be opened by single clicking on the icon. A folder will be opened in the same window, every file will either be opened in the appropriate programme or the file manager will ask you if he doesn't know (for instance if you have no text processing programme that opens Word documents the file manager will ask you). You can go back to the last opened folder by clicking on the back or go up one folder by clicking the up button. Navigating through the folders by using the folder view can become unpractical. The sidebar provides shortcuts and special functions that make it easier to find what you are searching for. On the left edge of the sidebar you will find a number of buttons, each (or at least almost) with a different icon. They are called Navigation Panel. Bookmarks As Konqueror (the file manager) also serves as a very powerful webbrowser you will find a bookmark functionality. Here you will find the same structure as in your bookmarks menu. Devices Next the sidebar provides a list of all known devices on your computer. These devices can be either physical drives, such as your hard disk, CD-ROM drive or floppy disk drive, or virtual "drives", such as remote shares or hard disk partitions. History Konqueror will remember the web pages you have visited and list them either by date or alphabetically in a tree structure. You can select the behavior by right clicking on the History item, selecting sort by. Left click on some item (e.g. www.kde.org) and Konqueror will show you the documents you have visited. Left clicking on some document (e.g. index.html) will open the web site in the folder view. Right click on a history item like www.kde.org -> index.html opens a slighly different popup menu: You will find the item New Window which makes Konqueror opening the site in a new window. Home Directory The home directory item in the sidebar's navigation panel. You will find your home directory as the first entry. Below you will find all folders of your home directory. Now guess what: Left clicking on any folder in this view opens the folder in the folder view. But you can also work with the folders' context menu, create subfolders and so on. Sidebar Media Player Try dragging a music file (like .mp3, .ogg or .wav files) on the sidebar. The file will immediately be played. Newsticker Newsticker will display a customisable list of news sources. Right click either on the Configure button or on one of the newssource buttons (e.g. KDE News which is usually predefined) to add a new newsticker source. Network Here you can browse the services provided by other computers on the network. The LISA-Deamon has to be started in order to work correctly. The network browser is more than i.e. the Windows Network Browser: It allows you to see a variety of services provided by a computer. You can easily browse SMB shares, HTTP Sites or transfer files via the secure FISH layer. Root Directory As you might have already learned Linux doesn't know "drives" (like C: or D: in Windows). Everything is organized in a file system tree. This the must have a root and here it is. The Root Directory function is the same as the Home Directory function. The only difference is that every folder is being displayed, not only your home directory. Services This is somehow the "rest". Try browsing through the different items. If an Audio CD is in your CD or DVD drive you will be able to find everything on it and even more in the Audio CD Browser item (you can even compress audio files and save them on your harddrive with this function). Icons To only select one icon hold down the CTRL-Key and click on it. If you want to select more than one icon, [... don't know how to write it in a way that everyone understands ;-)]. Once one or more icons are selected you can do anything you want with them -- if it is listed in the context menu which opens when right clicking on one of the selected icons. If you want to move or copy items, select them and then drag (left mouse key down) them to the preferred location. When you release the mouse button a menu will come up offering you to Move, Copy or Link the selected items. You can also Cancel your action. Links and Shortcuts As already mentioned above you can link files or folders anywhere. It means that the linked folder will appear and behave just like the original in another location without consuming space on your harddrive. So if you for example have a number of documents and only a few are used regularly, you can easily group them in a folder and create links in it. The Trash Before a file is deleted in the KDE file manager it will be moved to Trash to give you the possibility to get it back if you deleted it by accident. The trash bin will show all deleted items. You can select the one to be recovered and move it to its original place as described in the section "Icons". If you right click on the trash bin and select Empty trash bin the files in it will be gone! // --- EOF --- // -- ... Logically incoherent, semantically incomprehensible, and legally ... impeccable!

I would appreciate if someone could have a look and check if i did not get something wrong. Remember: I didn't even have a Palm before starting this :). One palm III and a Clie later, there is the result. To the kde-doc-english: this is my first doc, and I am not a native English speaker. I will continue to write documentation and articles in the future. I would appreciate some review, and I assure you I will use any hint you give me in future docs. As a side effect, I discovered some nice stuff I can do with my Palm and KPilot. I guess I will write an "Cool things to do with KPilot" article about them when KDE 3.3 is out. The PalmDoc conduit in special is a gem, coupled with some tools to handle the Gutenberg project books, or Palm DOC editors.
