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”). > > It seems the top directory in the Folders side panel is dynamically > > adjusted > > when you decent through its subdirectories.

I may boot the old rig and compare. > Maybe when I enable/disable something some new settings show up somewhere. 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”. > If only. I'd have to connect everything back up to the old rig so I can > boot. Right now, nothing plugged into it.

Media players usually inhibit the suspend signal to the monitor anyways. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
