There +are too many features of &konqueror; to describe here, so we will just +take an overview. For more details about what &konqueror; can +do, refer to the &konqueror; Handbook. + + + +Folders + +When you first open &konqueror; in file management mode, you can +see two panes: on the right is the folder view; on the left is the +sidebar. The folder view contains icons for +each item inside the current folder. These items can be +folders or files. Many file types can be previewed +without opening a new application to edit them in.Previews To preview a file, +hold the mouse cursor over the name of the file for about a second: a +popup window will appear, showing the contents of the file and other some +useful information, like file's size and which user owns the file. + +You can open any item by clicking on the icon for the +file. Folders will be opened in the same window; files will either be +opened in the appropriate program, or the file manager will ask you +what program to use. For instance, if do not have a word-processor set up to +open &Microsoft; Word documents, the file manager will +ask you what to do. + +You can go back to the last-opened folder by clicking on the +Back button or go up one folder by clicking +the Up button. + + + +The Navigation Panel (aka <quote>The Sidebar</quote>) + +Navigation Panel +Sidebar + + + + + +The &konqueror; sidebar + + +Navigating through the folders by using +the folder view can become impractical. 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 be several buttons, each + with a different icon, such as the following: + + + + + +Bookmarks + + +As &konqueror; (the file manager) also serves as a very powerful +web browser, it also has 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 and +selecting Sort by. Left click on an item (⪚ +www.kde.org) and &konqueror; will show you the documents you have visited. Left +clicking on a document (⪚ index.html) will open +the web site in the folder view. +Right clicking on a history item, like www.kde.orgindex.html +, opens a slightly different popup menu: you will also find the +item New Window, which makes &konqueror; open the +site in a new window. + + + + +Home Directory + + +The Home Directory item is 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. Left clicking on any +folder in this view opens the folder in the folder view. Alternatively, you can also +work with the folders' context menus, 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. TDE 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;-Daemon has to be started in order to work +correctly. The network browser 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 + + +Everything on a &UNIX;-based system is organized in a file +system tree. This tree must have a root and here it is. The +Root Directory function is like 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 hard drive with this +function). + + + + + + + +Icons + + +To select only one icon hold down the &Ctrl; key and click on the icon +you want to select. If you want to select more than one icon, hold +down &Ctrl; while you click on each of the items you want to select. +Once one or more icons are selected you can do what you want with +them. If you want to move or copy items, select them and then drag them +(with the left mouse button down) to the desired location. When +you release the mouse button a menu will come up offering you to +MoveMoving +Files, +CopyCopying +Files, or Link the +selected items. You can also Cancel your +action. + + +Many other actions can be applied to the selected items by +right-clicking on one of the selected items, and choosing the action +from the menu which appears. (The exact contents of this menu depend on the +type of files selected, so it is called a context menu). + + + +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 additional 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 + +Trash +Recycle Bin + +Before a file is deleted in the &tde; file manager it will be +moved to the Trash folder to give you the +possibility of getting 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 . If you right click on the trash bin and select +Empty trash bin the files in it will be +deleted permanently. + + + +Related Information + +The &konqueror; Handbook +has much more information about the features available in +&konqueror;. + + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
