Re: Buster: Konqueror as File Manager
Update about a sidebar for Konqueror
More searching on the web has lead me to this thread:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373824
and to comment no. 27.
Using David Faure's suggestion I did the following to create a sidebar:
. launch krunner (alt-F2)
. enter "/"
. click on "Locations Open /"
. this will open konqueror as file manager
. put a check mark next to "View / Lock to current location"
. do "Window / Split view Left/Right"
. re-size the left pane to look like a sidebar
. from either pane, put a check mark next to "View / Link view"
. go to "File / Session / Save as ..." and save this session
When you click on a folder in the left pane, it will be show up in the right
pane.
Tips:
. Only these two panes are linked, so if you do "Split view Left/Right" from
the right pane, any selection you make in the far left pane will only affect
the pane to its immediate right.
. I suggest you display the bookmarks toolbar and use bookmarks, it's
especially helpful with a split view.
. To launch your file manager
. go to Application Launcher / Edit Applications...
. create a New Item in the folder of your choice, e.g. System or
Utilities
. give it a Name and Description, and select an icon
. in the Command field, put "konqueror --open-session
<your_saved_session_name>"
. Save
. add this new application to Favourites, the panel, or the desktop
. To make a global shortcut
. go to System Settings / Workspace / Shortcuts / Edit / New / Global
Shortcut / Command/URL
. give the New Action a name; e.g. KonquerorFM
. enter a comment in the Comment tab, if you wish
. enter your shortcut key in the Trigger tab
. enter the same command in the Action tab that you entered to create
the application
. click "Apply"
Although this method doesn't replace the full-functioning sidebar of
Konqueror that's in Stretch, it does help, a bit, in Buster.
Regards,
Robert
