[gentoo-user] Dolpin and panel won't lock correctly

[gentoo-user] Dolpin and panel won't lock correctly

[Dale]

Howdy,

As most know, I've built a new rig.  I've fixed a lot of things over the
past couple weeks but I've got one thing that I just can't figure out. 
Dolphin is the default file manager and it works well enough.  It's
better than the old Konqueror in most ways.  I wish it would do man
pages tho.  Anyway, I have mine set to have the Folders panel open all
the time on the left side.  I on occasion use places etc but only show
those on the odd occasion I need them.  I like the Folder panel to show
the root directory, root as in / where /boot, /home, /var and such is
located.  I got it to show it the way I wanted it to be and then tell it
to lock the location with a right click and lock the location.  Thing
is, if I navigate to say /home/dale/Desktop, and anything inside that,
it switches to what I'd call the /home/dale view.  I can't get to /mnt
or /run/media for USB sticks and such because those are no longer showing. 

I've went through the Configure Dolphin settings, I've tried to right
click in other areas and it just won't stay where I put it.  I've even
tried closing all the Dolphin instances but one and get it set like I
want and lock the panel.  As soon as I go into /home stuff, the panel
switches again to /home/dale view.  My old rig would stick to the /
directory like I want.  However, I gave KDE a fresh start when I moved
to the new rig.  The old config info was carried over from the KDE4
version, maybe even KDE3.  So, this is a fresh start and I figure there
is a setting somewhere that will fix this but I just can't figure out
where that is set. 

Anyone have a idea how to make Dolphin lock the panel at / and it not
switch to /home/dale view??  I'd think locking is enough but maybe the
lock setting isn't working and it is a bug.  Maybe it is set somewhere
else.  I just can't figure out if it is a bug, bad setting or something
else. 

Thoughts??

Thanks. 

Dale

:-)  :-) 

P. S.  Liking the new rig.  Sometimes my main monitor blinks off and
back on again.  I can't figure out why yet but I'm working on it. 
Swapped cables so far.  Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.  :-)

You probably know this, the removable mounted or unmounted devices ought to 
show on the side panel under 'Devices', where you can click to mount or 
unmount them manually.

The /mnt or any other /* directories will show up both when you click the / 
partition Label on the 'Devices' side panel section and when you click Root in 
the 'Places' section.

It seems the top directory in the Folders side panel is dynamically adjusted 
when you decent through its subdirectories.  Have you played with:

Settings > Configure Dolphin > Startup > Show on startup

to see if you can set / in there?  I don't know if this might affect it 
permanently, rather than on startup, but its worth trying.

Alternatively, is the dolphin window and size of fonts/icons as large in this 
desktop as it was in your old desktop?

You can diff the old-new rig '~/.config/dolphirc' files to see if there is any 
setting relevant to the side panel.

Probably some power Energy Star® saving feature on the monitor?  :-/

You can also set it on the startup command, so if you went in and edited 
the appropriate .desktop file, you can always tell it to start at /.

True but I rarely use that panel, pane or whatever it is called.  Once I
open /home and go a couple layers, the list gets VERY long.  It's so
long that I tend to use the mouse pointer and the scroll bar to move.  A
mouse wheel scroll would take a long time.  Remember, my video
collection.  It's into the hundreds of directories.  To be honest, if
the monitor stand I have was taller, I would turn one monitor on it's
side so that panel/pane could be very long.  Thing is, monitor won't fit
that way.  I prefer to just have it locked at / and work with it that
way.  Faster, easier and all that.  If I can just figure out how the old
rig does that.

I tried that too.  It still does the /home/dale thing when I go into my
home directory.  There has to be a setting somewhere since it works on
my old rig.  I just can't find it.  I may boot the old rig and compare. 
Maybe when I enable/disable something some new settings show up somewhere. 

I admit tho, when I tried that, I thought it was a good idea too.

If only.  I'd have to connect everything back up to the old rig so I can
boot.  Right now, nothing plugged into it.  I need to do some things on
it tho.  Drag out the old keyboard, spare mouse and various other
things.  Hmmmm, where am I going to put a monitor tho?????  Right now, I
got NAS1 sitting on top of the old rig.  I moved out the ammo can with
my stash of salt in it.  Remember, me looking everywhere for my ammo can
with salt in it only to find it under NAS1??  ROFL 

Might could copy that one file over too.  Might work.  I was really
wanting to give all of a KDE a fresh start on config files tho.

Well, it does it when I'm actually doing things like typing a email or
something.  Plus, most energy saving stuff is disabled.  It has to stay
on so I can watch TV anyway.  Odd tho, only the main monitor does it. 
The second monitor stays on and so does the TV.  It may do it when I'm
not looking too.  I dunno.

You can hold the shift key while turning the wheel, this will cause it to 
scroll by page, not by three lines at a time. That’s a very nifty feature 
since at least KDE 3 (that was when I started my “Linux career”).

First I wanted to write that I don’t really believe there is an option for 
this. So you could simply go to home (with Alt+Home) and one level up with 
Alt+Cursor, so the folder panel goes back to root mode.

And then I had one more look and simply clicked around a bit. I’ve never 
really used the folder panel; I usually stick to the Places panel. I noticed 
a suspicios menu item … and Heureka! Just right-click any folder in the 
panel and uncheck “Limit to home directory”.

You could try headless with SSH, if it’s just moving files around that needs 
to be done.

The “lock setting” is for locking the sidebar layout, not its content.

Media players usually inhibit the suspend signal to the monitor anyways.

Never heard of that.  May play with that.  I looked in one directory,
can't mention the name exactly, I have over 600 directories.  It takes a
while to scroll through that.  That feature sounds nifty.  Faster at
least.  I went and tried it.  Yep, that is a LOT faster.  O_O

Well choke me until I look like a Smurf.  ROFLMBO  That worked.  As soon
as I clicked that, it went to the / directory.  It seems to stick
there.  It actually changed it for every instance I have running too. 
It seems that Dolphin wants to run as one instance instead of multiple. 
I'm not sure about that yet tho.  I tend to have at least four instances
of Dolphin open at the same time.  Sometimes more if I'm downloaded
trail camera pics or something.

Yea, still got to hook up a lot of stuff for that too.  Plus, it has
been running 24/7 for so long, it may be upset with me and not boot for
some reason.   It could feel neglected and unneeded.  ;-)

True.  Sometimes tho, a roach creeps in and it cuts off after a little
bit.  I tend to disable it.  When I lock the screen and am gone for a
while, it powers off then after like 10 minutes or something.  Not sure
where that setting is tho.  I figure on the lock screen, it has a
different setting.  I'm glad it turns off so never went looking for it
anyway. 

Thanks for the help.  I think it's working like I want now.  On to the
next thing that annoys me.  LOL

This isn't uncommon, I gather. I suffer from it too. It's a side effect 
of "blitting", I believe.

Basically, the computer builds an image "offline" then blits it on to 
the screen. Normally it's seamless, but every now and then it's slow 
enough to notice. Same sort of thing as "tearing" - basically the 
computer can't/doesn't update the live video image fast enough for it 
not to be noticed.

Cheers,
Wol

I find Dolphin has a habit of opening extra tabs, which I don't usually 
want. I have to explicitly ask for extra windows. And of course, it 
doesn't seem to implement "drag tab and it'll turn into a window" :-(

I noticed that if I say click on a directory on the desktop or in the
removable devices thing click on open in file manager that it not only
opens the directory or mount point but also has a set of tabs from the
last instance of Dolphin I used.  On the old rig, it just opened what I
clicked on and nothing else but now, it opens what I clicked on plus
extra stuff I don't need.  I usually have four instances of Dolphin open. 

It's like it gets confused or something and just adds on whatever it
thinks I might need even if I don't need it.  It's weird.  Every time I
think I know what it is going to do, it does something different.  I've
looked for setting that is like 'allow multiple instances' or something
but don't see anything.  Maybe one day I'll right click on something and
there it is.  A setting that makes it behave like I am used to. 

I realized a bit ago that I'm on stable KDE on the new rig.  I'm in the
process of upgrading to testing.  Maybe that will fix some things. 
Never hurts to hope.  ;-)  The old rig ran testing as well.

I am still using this feature.  Also, for others who don't know this, it
works in the panel on the left but also works in the main part where
directories/files are listed as well.  Holding that shift key makes
scrolling a LOT faster. 

I wish I knew about this nifty feature ages ago.  I wonder, what else
don't I know????

The middle mouse button also has nice features. In the browser it opens 
links in a new tab and middle-clicking on a tab closes it (in Dolphin, too). 
Middle-clicking a file in Dolphin opens it with the first open-with-entry of 
the context menu.

I knew about the middle button opening in a new tab.  That's a very
handy feature.  I didn't know about closing tabs and opening a file.  I
noticed after a recent update, I have to double click everything to open
it now.  I had it set to open on single click.  I've looked everywhere
and it seems that setting has disappeared.  It used to be in KDE
settings and mouse.  Maybe they want us to use the middle button now???? 

That may fix one issue I been having recently.  :-D 

Thanks.

P. S.  Monitor hasn't winked at me yet.  Been a while now.  ;-)

They changed the default for newly set up profiles. But methinks it should 
not have changed your setting. If you go to system settings, there is an 
option “Clicking files or folders” right on the start page.

That's the one.  I guess it moved or my brain took a nap.  Later is a
good possibility.  LOL 

Thanks.  Fixed that.  Now to get Wol's problem fixed.  The indent thing.

Of course, I found it shortly after I posted ... there's a special mode 
for lilypond files which is doing it. So I'll have to file a bug ...

But it does make sense to outdent after >> because it's an "end of". It 
does NOT make sense to outdent after "get quieter". So what does it do?

Of course.

You figured it out.  Yay!!!  I was hoping that tip box would yield some

P. S.  Bit of a drought here.  Time to water my oak trees so the deer
will have acorns this fall.  Had to replace capacitor in well pump
yesterday.  Uses a cheap Chinese cap so it goes out every few years. 
Ordered extras this time.  O_O
