Konfigurator: &krusader;'s Configuration CenterConfigureKrusaderKonfigurator is &krusader;'s configuration center. Here you can modify the way &krusader; does things and customize it to your own needs. At any time, pressing the Apply button will apply the changes, pressing Close will close Konfigurator, and pressing Defaults will re-apply &krusader;'s "factory" settings. Konfigurator is divided into pages, each containing items related to that page. For some changes to the &GUI;, you will have to close and restart &krusader;.StartupThe startup page determines the way that &krusader; looks (and works) when it is launched. It is divided into two main parts:GeneralStartup Profile : Starts the selected Panel profile at startup. <Last session> is a special Panel Profile, it is saved automaticly when closing &krusader;. Show splashscreen: Display a splashscreen when starting &krusader;. Single Instance Mode: Only one Krusader instance is allowed to run. User InterfaceDetermine which parts of the user interface are visible after startup. Save settings on exit: if checked, restore the user interface components to their condition when last shutdown.Show toolbar: if checked, &main_toolbar_lnk; will be visible after startup.Show statusbar: if checked, the &statusbar_lnk; will be visible after startup.Show function keys: if checked, the &fnkeybar_lnk; will be visible after startup. Show command line: if checked, the &cmdline_lnk; will be visible after startup. Show terminal emulator: if checked, the &termemu_lnk; will be visible after startup. Save last position, size and panel settings: when launched, &krusader; will resize itself to the size it was when last shutdown. &krusader; will also appear in the same location on the screen, having panels sorted and aligned as they were. If this option is unchecked, you can use the menu SettingsSave Position option to manually set &krusader;'s size and position at startup. Start to tray: if checked, &krusader; starts to tray (if minimize to tray is set), without showing the main window. Look & FeelHere you can determine the look & feel of things - which basically means fine-tuning the application to your needs. The page is divided into five tabs: Operation, Panel, Toolbar, Key-bindings and Panel Toolbar. Since Toolbar and Key-bindings are &kde; standard tools, we'll focus on the other sections:OperationLook & FeelWarn on exit: if checked, &krusader; will display an "Are you sure?" warning when you try to shut it down; otherwise, it will exit without protest. Minimize to tray: if checked, when you minimize &krusader;, it's icon will appear in the system tray instead of the taskbar. Automark Directories: when selecting a group of files (either by using Select Group or by using Select All), &krusader; will check this option. If checked, then directories matching the select criteria will also be marked; otherwise, only files will be marked. Rename selects extension: When renaming a file, the whole text is selected. If you want total-commander like renaming of just the name, without extension, unmark this item. Use fullpath tab names: if checked, display the full path in the &foldertabs_lnk;, otherwise only the last part of the path will be displayed. Fullscreen terminal (mc-style): Terminal is shown instead of the &krusader; window (full screen). QuicksearchNew style Quicksearch: The new Quicksearch feature is used. Case Sensitive Quicksearch: When using the Quicksearch feature: if checked (the &UNIX; default), all files beginning with capital letters appear before files beginning with non-capital letters; otherwise, all files beginning with a specified letter (capital or otherwise) will appear together. PanelPanel font: allows you to change the font used inside the file lists.Filelist icon size: allows you to change the size of the icons in the file lists. The available sizes are 16x16, 22x22, 32x32 and 48x48 pixels.Use icons in filenames: if checked, show the icons in filenames and folders.Human readable file size: if checked, the file size will be displayed in kB, Mb &etc; and not in bytes (default).Since &krusader;-1.70.0 you need to configure the Columns with the right click menu in the panel and not in Konfigurator. The left and right panel use their own Columns independently. The next Columns are available: NameExt: show the last part of the filename (part after the last dot) in the Ext Column and not as a complete filename in the Name Column like e.g. &konqueror; does. Type: show the mimetype field. Size: show the size field. Modified: show the modified date and time field. Perms: show the full perissions ⪚ "rwxr-xr-x" or as octal numbers '0755' instead with enable/disable Nummeric Permissions in Look & Feel Operation Tab. rwx: show only the rights of the current user ⪚ "-rw". Owner: show the owner field. Group: show the group field. Show Hidden files: if checked, &krusader; will display the "dot-files" which are otherwise hidden. Case Sensitive Sorting: if checked (the &UNIX; default), all files beginning with capital letters appear before files beginning with non-capital letters; otherwise, all files beginning with a specified letter (capital or otherwise) will appear together. Always sort dirs by name: Directories are sorted by name, regardless of the sort column. Numeric permissions: Permission column (Look & Feel Panel Tab) shows octal numbers '0755' instead of 'rwxr-xr-x'. Uncheck the un-used columns, this allows more space for columns in use. Panel ToolbarPanel Toolbar visible: if checked, &krusader; will display the Panel Toolbar.The buttons on the Panel Toolbar can be made visible or hidden: Clear Location Toolbar button: clears the &location_toolbar_lnk;Open buttonEqual (=) buttonUp (..) buttonHome (~) buttonRoot (/) buttonToggle-button for sync-browsing: if checked, show the &sync_browsing_lnk; button.Selection ModeHere you can configure the selection modes. General&krusader; Mode: the way &krusader; has worked from day one. Both mouse keys allow selecting files. To select more than one file, hold the &Ctrl; key and click the &LMB;. Right-click menu is invoked using a short click on the &RMB;.Konqueror Mode: pressing the &LMB; selects files -- you can click and select multiple files. Right-click menu is invoked using a short click on the &RMB;. Total commander Mode: pressing the &RMB; selects multiple files and the right-click menu is invoked by pressing and holding the &RMB; The &LMB; does not select, but sets the current file without affecting the current selection. Custom Selection Mode: create your own selection style! DetailsDouble-click selects (classic): A single click on a file will select and focus, a double click opens the file or steps into the directory. Obey KDE's global selection policy: pressing the &LMB; selects files -- Use &kde;'s global setting: &kde; Control Center -> Peripherals -> Mouse. Custom Selection Mode items: Based on KDE's selection modeLeft mouse button selectsLeft mouse button preserves selectionShift/Ctrl-Left mouse button selectsRight mouse button selectsRight mouse button preserves selectionShift/Ctrl-Right mouse button selectsSpacebar moves downSpacebar calculates diskspaceInsert moves downRight clicking pops context-menu immediatelyColorsThis page configures the colors of the &list_panel_lnk; and the &synchronizer_lnk;. The KDE default colors is the default color configuration. GeneralUse the default KDE colors: this is the default, it uses &kde;'s the color settings of kcontrol.Use Alternate Background color: If checked, the Background color and the Alternate background color alternates line by line. When you don't use the &kde; default colors, you can configure the alternate colors in the Colors box.Show current item even if not focused: If checked, shows the last cursor position in the non active list panel. This option is only available when you don't use the &kde; default colors.Dim the colors of the inactive panel: If checked, the colors of the inactive panel are calculated by a dim color and a dim factor, these settings can be configured in the Inactive tab of the Colors box. This option is only available when you don't use the &kde; default colors.ColorsChoose the colors the way you like. In the Preview section you can see the result. The following items of the active and inactive panel can be configured:ForegroundDirectory foregroundExecutable foregroundSymbolic link foregroundInvalid symlink foregroundBackgroundAlternate backgroundMarked foregroundMarked backgroundAlternate marked backgroundCurrent foregroundMarked current foregroundCurrent backgroundThe following items of the &synchronizer_lnk; can be configured:Equals foregroundEquals backgroundDiffering foregroundDiffering backgroundCopy to left foregroundCopy to left backgroundCopy to right foregroundCopy to left backgroundDelete foregroundDelete backgroundPreviewHere you see a preview of the configured colors.Color schemesWith the Import Color SchemeExport Color Scheme buttons you can load and save a Color Scheme profile. This allows that &krusader; can have the &tcmd;, &mc;, foo-commander or your custom colors. The Color Schemes are stored in $KDEDIR/share/apps/krusader, the foo.color is a binary file that holds the Color Scheme.A &mc; and &tcmd; Color scheme file is provided. Please upload your favorite Color schemes so that they become available for the &krusader; community. Thanks! GeneralHere you configure the basic operations.The following options determine basic aspects of operation: Delete files/Move to trash: when &krusader; deletes files it can either 'really' delete them or move them to the trash folder, thereby making them available via &kde;'s trash.Use mimetype magic: mimetype magic is a mechanism which allows &krusader; to inspect the files in the panels and determine their type even if the file has no identifying extension. For example, if you take an image file - 'image1.jpg' - and rename it to 'image1', &krusader; will still know it's an image file and work with it accordingly. However, this mode of operation is slower (while refreshing the panel, or changing directories), so try &krusader; with and without mimetype magic and decide what's best for you.Editor: choose what editor will be used when editing a file (via F4).Default viewer mode: eighter: generic, text or hex mode. Viewer opens each file in a separate window: use browsing tabs or not. Terminal: choose what terminal emulator will be used when &krusader; opens a console window (via F2, or Commands->Terminal menu option).Terminal Emulator sends Chdir on a panel change: if unchecked, there will be no cd command sended to the Termainal Emulator if the panelfolder changes.Temp Directory: this option selects the base directory for &krusader;'s temporary files. The actual files will be created in separate directories under the 'Temp directory', so that each user running &krusader; will have his/her own temporary subdirectories under the chosen directory. You must choose a temporary directory to which all users running &krusader; have full permissions!AdvancedThis page handles more advanced issues, so you should double-check what you do here, since modifying things around here makes &krusader; a more powerful AND dangerous tool.The page is divided into three parts:GeneralPreserve attributes for local copy/move (slower): If checked, &krusader; will try to preserve all attributes (time, owner, group) of the local files according to the source one depending on your permissions. Automount filesystems: this makes &krusader; try to mount a filesystem before entering it. For example, if you click on /mnt/cdrom (and /mnt/cdrom appears in /etc/fstab as a mount point), &krusader; will check if it is mounted. If not, it will try and mount it for you and then enter, so that you'd see the contents of your cdrom. Note, however, that &krusader; will NOT unmount when exiting /mnt/cdrom. Don't use KDE's media protocol for the Media button (if it's buggy or missing): If checked, &krusader; won't use &kde;'s media protocol for the Media button. Use this open when the media protocol is buggy (in some older &kde; versions) or if you have no tdebase package installed on your system. MountMan won't (un)mount the following mount-points: If you have filesystems that you don't want to accidentally unmount (or mount) then enter a list of mountpoints separated by commas (⪚ /, /boot, /tmp) and &mountman_lnk; won't try to (un)mount them. ConfirmationsBy checking the options in this section, &krusader; will ask for confirmation before doing a specific action; otherwise, the following actions will be done without warning:deleting non empty directorie(s)deleting file(s)copying file(s)moving file(s)Fine-TuningIcon Cache Size: &krusader; uses an icon cache, so it won't have to reload icons that were already used before. Of course, as the cache grows bigger, it can store more icons and further speed operations, but the memory footprint of &krusader; will be bigger.Arguments of updatedb: sets additional arguments for updatedb, please read the manpages for more information.ArchivesThis page handles the way &krusader; works with archives. In the General section you'll see a list of archive formats. Some are checked and some are grayed-out. The ones that are available (not grayed-out) are supported by &krusader;. If you check them, then &krusader; will handle them transparently and let you open them as folders; otherwise, &krusader; will attempt to invoke an application which opens that type of archive. If a certain archive is grayed-out, it means that &krusader; couldn't find the appropriate executables in the configured path. The next archives are supported: ace, arj, bzip2, deb, gzip, iso, lha, rar, rpm, tar, zip and 7-zip.If you've installed a certain archive application (let's say arj) and want &krusader; to know about it, just click the Auto Configure button. &krusader; will search for all supported executables and print a report listing the archive formats that can be handled. If all went well the new archive should be available and checked.Please install new packagers to your PATH (&ie;: /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin &etc;)The full path of the packagers is stored in the &konfigdependencie_lnk; (⪚ to handle ZIP archives, &krusader; needs the unzip and zip executables). It's possible that you need to configure manually the mimes to the protocols in the &konfigprotocol_lnk;.Fine-TuningAllow moving into archives: this option allows you to move files into an archive (as opposed to just copying into the archive). The down side is that if a power failure occurs during the process, the files that were moved might already be deleted, but not yet packed into the archive. If such thing happens, the file(s) are NOT LOST. They were actually moved into a subfolder in the &krusader;'s temp directory. You can search that directory and find your files, safe and sound. Test archives when finished packing: this option automatically runs a test on a newly packed archive. It is safer, but takes longer.Dependencies pageThis page configures the full path of the external applications. It is even possible to configure the full path of &krusader;!General tabHere you can configure the full path of the following external applications: applicationconfigurable full pathdf/bin/dfeject/usr/bin/ejecttdesu/usr/bin/tdesukget/usr/bin/kgetkmail/usr/bin/kmaildiff utility/usr/bin/komparekrename/usr/bin/krenamekrusader/usr/bin/krusaderlocate/usr/bin/locatemount/bin/mountumount/bin/umountupdatedb/usr/bin/updatedbBy default &kompare; (part of the tdebase package) is used as external diff utility but you can also use your favorite diff utility ⪚ &xxdiff_url; or &kdiff3_url; , just fill in the full path and enjoy.Packers tabHere you can configure the full path of the following external packers, &krusader; offers also a auto configure tool for packagers. packerconfigurable full path7zusr/bin/7zarjusr/bin/arjbzip2usr/bin/bzip2cpio/bin/cpiodpkg/bin/dpkggzip/usr/bin/gziplha/usr/bin/lharar/usr/bin/rartar/bin/tarunace/usr/bin/unaceunarj/usr/bin/unarjunrar/usr/bin/unrarunzip/usr/bin/unzipzip/usr/bin/zipIt is possible that unace doesn't work, but please don't blame us. ACE doesn't want, that other programs could cooperate with it. Unace has closed source, and they wrote some additional lines, that if the stdin is redirected to somewhere else, unace gets into infinite loop. It works with the same manner as 'su', where you cannot enter the password only from the stdin. &krusader;
>= 1-51 emulates the command line environment for being able to cooperate with unace, but we noticed that unace always changes its output's format from release to release, making the cooperation almost impossible.
