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. :-)
