KDE file manager UI fonts impossibly tiny (RESOLVED)

The KDE installation seems to be at variance with documentation on kde.org.
I can not find many of the configuration files named at kde.org.
My problem is that while I can change fonts in the file display window of file manager, the font in the menu bars and left side tree are barely readable.
This is more severe in the superuser file manager than in the user version, but I'm at a loss in changing either one of them.
My screen is set at 800x600.
I have been thru the files at /root/.kde/share/config.
All help appreciated.

Thank you.
I have been all over kcontrol, but found that to do what I wanted was to invoke it in a superuser terminal. That did it.

After KDE 4.4, the Dolphin File Manager Doesn't Run [RESOLVED]

After I successfully upgraded to KDE 4.4 and removed all old KDE configuration files, I then ran KDE 4.4 and the Dolphin File Manager doesn't run at all. Any suggestions? Thanks.

@flamelab - Here is what I get when running Dolphin from the terminal:
[ejm@Galicja apps]$ cd /usr/bin
[ejm@Galicja bin]$ ./dolphin
<unknown program name>(4364)/: Communication problem with "dolphin" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "

How do you set the default file manager in kde?

I'd like to set dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, how would I go about doing that? I have an installed working copy of dolphin on my comp right now.

associate dolphin as default for directories in control center.
kde components -> file associations -> inode -> directory
Thanks, but for some reason when I go in there and change it as a user, it doesn't save the setting, and it doesn't work. However, when I do the same thing as root it works, but of course, it only works for root then.

actually i think konqueror is more powerfull in kde3. However, the dolphin version in kde4 trunk is shaping up nice and looks promising.
Dolphin is a little bit less cluttered, and seems to be faster too. Most of the features in konquerer I never use.

Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
Is this possible?

OK then. Install nautilus.
control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
I bastardized KDE, i know
It was worth it! hehe
BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.

Prompt Command File Manager: tiny bash FM

Last year pyfmii, now this. What's with these crazy file managers.
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/175499/
wget http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/175499/ -O ~/bin/pcfm; chmod +x ~/bin/pcfm
PROMPT_COMMAND=pcfm
By avoiding ncurses the program only takes up a few lines and doesn't clear the screen (and speed is still OK). It can paste right into the bash prompt using xdotool and xsel for a very transparent approach to the "subshell" in some file managers (like mc).
Features include bookmarks (you can actually call the program as a general selector for a list (try pcfm ls /)), sessions to keep track of last selected/marked files in a dir, searching in the list, some navigation things like trying to find the closest match when the previously selected item was deleted and auto-selecting the parent directory on `cd ..`, and a launcher for filenames.
It can generate the file list with any command you want, but will need a few functions to get the filename, and tell whether it's a directory and such. I have added a few of these "profiles".
The bad thing is that it needs xdotool and xsel, which I mentioned in this thread. xdotool can give bugs (I ran into shift lock a lot, which can be avoided by using an emulated click instead of Shift+Insert), will be a bit slow, and when you use it to paste, the mouse needs to be on the window. I actually wrote a function that moves the mouse on the window! So that is quite bad.
On the other hand, if a string only has ascii ([[:print:]] in C locale), it can be typed by `xdotool type --window xxx ...`, and xsel and pasting won't be needed. This speeds things up and makes it a little more stable (mouse doesn't have to be on the window, etc).
Anyway, if you use screen and like this file manager, be sure to try the different approach in the linked thread.
Screenshot:
Screenshot? Try your ls alias. On a related note, make sure you have a good LS_COLORS variable.

EDIT: wget 'http://echtor2oo3.de/paste/9769876.txt' -O - | tr -d '\r' > ~/bin/pcfm; chmod +x ~/bin/pcfm
(before edit version: 'http://echtor2oo3.de/paste/7936610.txt', it didn't restore selected files if you didn't have a dir-specific profile)
github and an rc file is a bit too much for a tiny program. In a case like this, an rc file is good if you have frequent updates, but unless someone has more good feature requests, there won't be anything to update. (new profiles, keybindings, file associations, it's all up to the user)
I made the start of the file look more organized so it's easier to change. Note that F9 takes you immediately to edit the script.
find-as-you-type searches the entire line: directory entries start with d.
alias is a good idea (up to the user), auto-setting the prompt requires sending a command, so that's too tricky.
I added a command line switch -t, to set the default profile.
The profile keys are now:
^H: toggle iso / iso-no-hidden
(commented) ^H: iso-no-hidden
^S: time sorted (based on iso)
^E: extension sort (based on iso)
^T: traditional (full ls -l)
^I: iso (-g -G and long-iso time) (^I is also TAB)
^N: minimal (size, filename, ID character)
^U: custom (e.g. `find -maxdepth 1`, it brings up a prompt), since directory status can't be checked (actually you can, with `file`, I will look into it later), you have to type F2 and cd
^P: show the profile list and choose one (like bookmarks)

Changing icons in dolphon file manager

I am a little lost. I recently installed the oxyfaenza icon theme on my kde desktop. It is looking great except for the fact that the split view in dolphin file manager stays the same as with the oxygen icon theme. I have tried changing the icon via configure toolbars dialog in doplhin but the icon reverts back to the oxygen icon after one use. Does anyone know of a solution, any help would be appreciated.

Was you able to resolve above issue , if yes please let me know. I am experiencing the similar problem of loosing connection frequently with the network connection.

How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folders and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
[2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

KDE Printer Manager fails with "client-error-bad-request"

I'm having some trouble with printing on my system. The KDE printer manager shows "client-error-bad-request" and no other information. When I run the KCM from the command line, I also get "kcmshell(17286) KCupsRequest::serverError: status unrecognised: 1024" on the console. I wasn't able to find any useful information on this issue on google or these forums; not even what the 1024 status code means. It seems to me that this may be a bug in the kcm_printer_manager module, but I'd like to rule out other possibilities first. Unfortunately, I don't know what to try from here. I'll provide as much potentially relevant information as I can think of below.
Changes since last successful print job:
Multiple updates to KDE packages
Update to cups that changed systemd unit file names.
Stopped and disbled old units
daemon-reload
Enable and start new units
Other updates to cups since then, if I recall correctly.
Packages and versions:
kdeutils-print-manager 4.14.3-1 (owns kcm_printer_manager module for kcmshell4)
kdebase-runtime 4.14.3-1 (owns kcmshell4 binary)
cups 2.0.1-1
libcups 2.0.1-1
systemd 218-1
linux 3.17.6-1
Let me know if any other information might be helpful.

Anyone please help.

Is there any downside to using a reference type library if I use Time Capsule and will do file management only from within Aperture?

Have done a lot of reading to get prepared to convert to Aperture 3 and have this question regarding setting up my library type.
I'm not a professional -just a heavy user hobbyist.
It appears that the major factors in using reference style is to backup the images with Time Capsule and always do moves or deletes from within the Aperture application.
If my architecture matters here's what I have that may be involved in photo management and editing:
iMac (latest 27" high power version with lots of memory)
Internal 2TB HD where the library is stored
External (FireWire) 2TB HD where the images are stored
External (FireWire) 6TB HD backup drive
In the future an iPad for remote work on images (when/if available) and a Mac laptop (for same remote use)
I see major downside issues to letting the library manage my files - such as inaccessibility (or awkward accessibility) to the images for other programs, and performance issues when the library gets large (thousands of images or 100+ gb in size)
The chief complaints I've seen regarding using a reference mode is the broken link issues created if file management is done outside of Aperture (adds, deletes, moves of files) and the inability to use the Vault function for backup.
One feature that I imagine I'd like to have is maximum integration with Final Cut Pro X and that's one area I haven't seen much on and would be interested to hear about if that integration is affected with the choice of managed vs referenced library types. (I like to produce film clips that are combinations of pics and video and want to be set up so that is done in the easiest fashion when working in FCP X)
I'm sure I've not seen all sides of this issue and would like to see some discussion around this question.
Thanks to everyone contributing!

Goody, Goody, you hit a few of my favorite subjects! Herewith some comments, with the usual caveats - true to the best of my knowledge and experience, others may have different results, YMMV, and I could be wrong.
I run Aperture on two machines:
-- 2007 Mac Pro with 2x2.66 GHz Xeon, 21 GB of RAM, a 5770 GPU, and multiple HD. I have about 11,000 images, taking up 150 GB. (Many are 100 MB TIFF, scanned slides)
-- 2006 Mac Book Pro with 1 2.0 GHz Core Duo, 2 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD.
Two very different machines.
-- Aperture Libraries are all the same - Managed or Referenced. If Managed, then the Master image files are inside the Package, if Referenced, they are outside, and you can have any combination you want. Managed is easier, but Referenced is not hard if you are the least bit careful.
-- While the sheer size of an Aperture Library is not a big issue, the location on disk of the different components can have a tremendous impact on performance.
-- Solid State Drives (SSD) read and write faster than regular Hard Disks (HD) and, what is more important, empty HD read and write much faster than full HD.
-- Aperture speed requires a combination of RAM, CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU) speed, and disk speed. The more RAM you have, the less paging you will see. With enough RAM, the next bottle neck is CPU (speed and cores) and GPU speed. But even then you will still have to fetch an image (longer if you pull the full resolution Master, read and rewrite the Version file, and update the Preview and Thumbs.
So what works?
-- RAM, RAM, and more RAM. 4 GB will work, but you will page a bit. 8 GB is much faster. On my old MacPro the sweet spot was about 16 GB of RAM.
-- Keep your Library on your fastest (usually internal) drive. Keep that disk as unloaded as possible. How do you keep it unloaded? Either buy BIG, 1 TB+ or move your Masters off onto another disk. The good news here is that as Master files are written only once and never rewritten, speed of this disk, as opposed to the disk that holds the Library, is not important. There is a one second pause as the Master is read into memory and, if you have enough RAM, that is it - the Master will never be paged out. If, on the other hand, you do not have enough RAM, and you do a lot of adjusting at full resolution, then the speed of the disk that holds your Masters will become very important due to paging.
-- I found that I picked up a tiny bit of speed by keeping the Masters on a dedicated disk. Thus, in your configuration, if you can dedicate that 2 TB FW HD to your Masters, you should see very nice performance.
Final notes on backups and archives:
-- One conventional wisdom is that you should make an archive copy of every image file before or as you load them into your system. (Aperture in this case.) This archive is then never touched or deleted.
-- An alternative approach is that you do not keep such an archive, but only the images that you have in your Aperture Library. And when you delete from the Library, you no longer keep a copy anywhere.
I do the following:
-- Card to Aperture. Card is then kept at least 24 hours until all of my backups have run. (I use three - Time Machine, Clone, and off site.)
-- I do not keep archive copies. If I decide to delete a file, my only recourse is to recover it from Time Machine during the six month cycle of my Time Machine backups. Thereafter, it is lost.
There are merits to both approaches.
Hope this is clear, correct, and responsive to your needs.

Searching for a good file manager

I'm searching for a good file manager. Konqueror 3.5 is quite good, dolphin 4.1 and konqueror 4.1 are not. Since konqueror 3.5 is going to die due to lack of support in the future, I kind of need to find a new good file manager...
Do there exist file managers with the following features?
Many of these features are things I thought were quite logical to be in a file manager, but seem to be missing in most "modern" ones...
-independent of any desktop (gnome or KDE), just a standalone program
-preferably not being both a web browser and file manager in once, at least not in an annoying way. Konqueror 3.5 shows that being that combination is possible without being annoying.
-ability to have a tree view of the folders on one side and list view showing the files and subfolders of the folder currently selected in the tree on the other side
-detailed list view showing at least filename, type, date and size, and the ability to sort according to any of these properties
-a non-detailed view showing image contents would also be nice, to browse folders of photos or other images
-ability to open files in certain programs if you doubleclick the file, NOT open it by singleclicking, singleclicking may only select it
-ability to select multiple files by dragging box around files or using keys like "ctrl" and "shift"
-ability to do "open terminal here" or type terminal commands in the current open directory
-must have ability to drag files from one folder to another, from list view to tree view and vica versa, to move or copy them
-and must have ability to use "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to copy files and foldes from here to there
-multiple tabs is a huge plus
-favorites (to local folder paths) is also a huge plus
-preview of files when hovering the mouse over them is nice
-must have ability to zip and unzip (or other compression formats) folders by just right clicking them and choosing a zip/unzip command there
-in addition to that, must also have ability to browse through a zip file as you would through a normal directory, and drag files from the insides of the zip file to the tree view to automatically unzip those files there, and of course "ctrl+c"/"ctrl+v" should also work to copy a file from the inside of the zip file, to some other folder on your disk
-no horizontal autoscrolling in the tree view, that is an invention straight from the abyss...

I know exactly how you feel about KDE 4 vs. 3 -- Konqueror was the best part of KDE for me (pretty much the only part I ever used, actually; my window manager is a slightly modified version of WMII and I generally loathe "desktop environments"). KDE 4 ruined it, completely and utterly.
I submitted about 20 different bug reports about Konqeuror 4, mostly features that they'd deleted or mangled; some of them are starting to be addressed now. I don't think they'll ever fix the speed issues though, because those are dependent on the underlying KDE 4 libraries as far as I can tell -- it's as if KDE 4 were purposely and deliberately designed to be slower than KDE 3. Even if they fix all of its deficiencies, that'll probably keep me from using it...
Right now there's KDEmod, which will hopefully maintain its KDE 3 branch for a while longer. It's starting to show some problems, though; I haven't been able to get kdemod konqueror 3 to work fully out of the box (the settings pages are all blank). On my main machine, I somehow managed to hack together some of the KDEmod3 packages so that I have a functional konqueror 3 running alongside the Arch repository's version of KDE4. I'm afraid to pacman -Syu now, though, because it will probably break horribly :P
I don't remember exactly how I got konqueror 3 going like that, as I did it in my initial fit of rage after I did the pacman -Syu that got me KDE4 (a decision I have regretted ever since), but it was something like this:
1. move /opt to /opt.kde4
2. make a new /opt
3. download several KDE 3 packages from the KDEmod3 repositories manually
4. extract those packages into the new /opt with tar -xzf (NOT pacman!)
5. try /opt/kde/bin/konqueror
6. read reams of error messages about missing libraries, segfaults, etc.
7. try to supply the missing libraries by downloading other kdemod3 packages and manually extracting them
8. goto 5
Then, when everything worked (sort of), I renamed some stuff so that 'konqueror' is konqueror 4 (I think having it konqueror 3 broke something else, but I don't remember what), and konqueror 3 is called 'k3nqueror'.
If KDEmod3 ever goes away and there's no other good replacement file manager by then, I'll probably take the source code of KDE3 and try to make a standalone version of konqueror out of it. (Which will probably be quite a project because of how interdependent all the KDE components are.)
Some features I "need" in a file manager, besides the ones you mentioned:
- Konqueror's tree view (where you can expand folder branches in the file list)
- Infinite view splitting -- I frequently have my konqueror windows split into 4, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 view panes. Very useful for sorting out files.
- Selection rectangles are sensitive only over files -- I find full-row-select really annoying, because there are no guaranteed "blank" areas that you can click on to clear a selection. I also use this behaviour to grab long-named files that are interspersed with short ones, because they hilight first when the rectangle touches them (you wouldn't think this very useful, but surprisingly often you do want to do something to all the long-named files...)
- Right-clicking on a folder and clicking "Paste" pastes into that folder, not the current one -- you'd be amazed at how many file managers get this wrong. I shouldn't have to cd into a folder just to paste some files there.

File management workflow - in and out of PS CS

I am getting used to using LR in my workflow and find it great for a simple shoot where I sort/cull, process and export. However I am getting into a bit of a muddle on the file management side
1) Moving files in and out of PS
I often create complex manipulated images - here I edit in photoshop and tend to create many versions. I save a version whenever I feel I have got somewhere with the file. However if I use 'save as' the file doesn't appear in Lightroom - I would have to go and re-import them. I've noticed that lightroom does create a new edit each time I close and reopen the edit, but this is time consuming and I don't want to do this.
My process in PS CS would be to flag relevant raw files, open in PS and save to a Work in Progress folder. Here I would store the various versions. Then once the images had been finalised I would save to a Final folder.
At present with LR - I am importing into LR, sorting/culling, using Develop for basic edits, opening in PS for manipulation and then getting into a muddle with files and versions.
How do other people deal with the interlink between LR and CS?
2) Creating a final portfolio
I tend to export any final images as Tiffs in to a Final subfolder, as I am slightly wary of leaving them as Raw with an attached xmp in case things get messed around when I archive them to a separate HD.
What is the best way of creating a "portfolio" library, versus a working library? Re-importing the Tiffs and keywording/rating for portfolio? Or creating a separate LR Library where only final files are deposited?
I would be grateful for any tips/workflows you find work.
Thanks

> ) Creating a final portfolio
 I tend to export any final images as Tiffs in to a Final subfolder, as I am slightly wary of leaving them as Raw with an attached xmp in case things get messed around when I archive them to a separate HD.
 
 One way around the latter is to convert to DNG as a final step. When i do this, I know the file is pretty complete. By using "Edit in PS" my work gets linked with the original RAW or DNG file, has ratings, key words, etc. But I've not done a lot in that area, and not sure how I'd handle multiple versions of photoshopped images from one RAW file. I might be inclined to save snapshots within PS or layer comps.

Chromium default file manager

Some time ago I was screwing around with the Chromium file associations, for reasons I do not recall. It must have been to do with implementing torrent file associations because since then every time I try to 'Open in Folder' or click an entry in the downloads bar at the bottom, a dialogue box appears: 'Failed to execute default File Manager / Failed to execute child process / "transmission" (No such file or directory).'
It's recently started to quite bother me, so I've decided to get it resolved at last. There is no transmission entry in any of the xdg-related files as far as I can see, so I have no idea which backwater file I edited to cause this problem. Any ideas where to look, or what to reinstall?

Nope, nothing in that thread worked. Thanks anyway.
However, I did find this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115647
exo-preferred-applications -c
Show in Folder now works. But other file associations are not working. On my other Arch installation, clicking on PDF and torrent files from within Chromium automatically sends them to the appropriate program. Instead, here I get a dialog, presumably spawned by Nautilus, telling me the destination is not a folder.
At least it's now quicker to get to the directory and open the file manually.

Change default file manager in linux

After upgrading to Firefox 10.0 for Linux "Open containing folder" in downloads opens in nautilus and not my default file manager.
I'm not finding how to change this behavior.

File associations are a mess right now. Many programs (Opera included) handle them their own way. There's a project underway to handle associations in a standard way (see MIME actions, shared MIME info, desktop entries, all at freedesktop.org), but not all software uses it; KDE is a notable holdout (3 at least, not sure about 4).
Note that that first spec link, MIME actions, is currently "in the requirements-gathering / early-planning stages." That means there is no spec for that. As I said, a mess.
Most likely, Opera and Thunderbird detected you were running KDE and special-cased their association-finder to ask KDE instead. Now that you aren't, they're falling back to their normal behavior: use the first .desktop file to claim the MIME type. As I recall, both applications offer ways to specify associations in their preferences; you might just want to stick to that for now. Or use a desktop environment.
The kernel-level MIME support is designed to allow execution of strange files using interpreters. For example, you could directly execute Windows applications (as in "./notepad.exe") by setting the kernel to "interpret" application/exe files using wine. No applications use it for opening files.

File Manager slow and fails

STA100-3 10.2.1.2991 I notice that sometimes the File Manager is slow or does seem to work. In particular, SMS Backup app (which has worked for over a year) has started to fail when it calls the File Manager. The app developer doesn't see this, but functionally when the app calls the File Manager the screen dims for a while and then nothing. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and mutilple reboots in the process to make sure memory is max and still have an issue. Also, when I try to add photos etc in email or FB it sometimes fails to bring up the File Manager to select attachments/photos.

With my recent update to VZW's 10.3.2.858 this issue is resolved. Must have been a corrupt OS file issue.

Looking for a file manager with copy queue

Hey,
I'm looking for a file manager with a file-copy-queue feature.
It is useful when browsing mounted samba shares, and you find something you want to copy.
You'll then start copying the files, and then spot another useful folder. You start copying that as well
and suddenly you got 5 different file copies processing at the same time, which decreases the copy speed.
I also miss the feature when transfering files from my external harddrives.
If there is a lot of FM's with this feature, I prefer one without kde-dependencies, as I am using xfce.

Ranguvar wrote:If MC really does have that as a feature, it's once again proved itself _the_ graphical (sorta) file manager.
sorry for misinformed.
mc has a background job option while copying, it is not exactly a queue like functionality, but simulating to be a queue, and you can stop/resume a background job.
