--- Comment #46 from DePitte <peter-mail...@web.de> ---
Hello Raphael,
what I found out by further testing:
(all of minor importance for a release, for some 'problems' workarounds are
available, two improvement suggestions see below)
1. a) Konqueror konqsidebar_tree_module version doesn't remember the activation
of the navigation bar on the next start. That's due to the not longer existing
'profilemagement' in Plasma5. Calling /usr/bin/konqueror (KDE4) without
anything, the navigation bar is not activated, calling with --profile
filemanagement, --open-session <your_session> or with a file related URL it is.
(KDE4 profile 'filemanagement' and session contain 'Container0', which is the
navigation bar)
For konqsidebar_tree_module version (Plasma5), it's possible to use the
'sessionmanagement' and call it by konqueror --open-session <your_session>. To
prevent to have more than one window on start, it's necessary to store the
session with the option 'Open tabs inside current window', which is Plasma5
standard I suppose.
b) Konqueror remembers the last used tree area for next start in KDE4 and
Plasma5 (~config/konqsidebartngrc OpenViews=<tree_area> e.g. 'home.desktop').
2. Using the tree area button 'Home Folder' and 'Root Folder' is slightly
different:
KDE4:
a) Using 'Home Folder', the tree shows only the $HOME, using 'Root Folder', the
tree shows the full / (root) tree. Both have a 'root node' on top ('Home
Folder' and 'Root Folder').
More precise: The configured URL from the tree area button is shown recursively
from top.
b) 'highlighted' folders in tree area and content of active tab/view:
- on Konqueror start: no folder is highlighted
More precise: There is no 'stored' highlighted folder from start, neither
without or with a profile or session. (there are stored URL resp. '...Buffer='
entries in the session, but they are not called like in Plasma5, see below)
- choosing another folder in tab/view or tree area: folder is highlighted
(unless it's not available in tree area) and content of tab/view changes
- switching between tabs/views or tree areas: folder in tree area is not
changed by tab/view, content of tab/view is not changed by tree area
More precise: A tree area is not 'linked' directly with a tab/view, no
immediate changes.
Plasma5:
a) In the konqsidebar_tree_module version (Plasma5), a tree (for file views)
shows always the full root tree. There is no 'root node' on top.
Improvement: For clearness it would be better to reduce the shown tree by the
configured URL, as it is in KDE4. A top node is quite handy to jump on the top.
b) 'highlighted' folders in tree area and content of active tab/view:
- on Konqueror start: highlighted folder is the folder from first tab (F9 to
open navigation bar) or active tab from stored session (opened navigation bar
is restored). (in some tree areas this don't work, e.g. in 'Services' but also
not in 'Home Folder'!)
More precise: The highlighted folder is taken either from
$HOME/.config/konquerorrc StartURL= or from the stored session ('...Buffer='
from active tab or view in a container)
Improvement: 'Home Folder' should react like 'Root Folder' reactivating the
last used folder and not the folder from configurated URL. (I've seen on
changing URL of this Button, a configuration is stored in
~.local/share/konqsidebartng/entries/ with URL[$e]=file:$HOME/<my_change>,
maybe the variable $HOME somewhere is a problem!?)
- choosing another folder in a tab/view or tree area: same as in KDE4
- switching between tabs/views or tree areas: folder in tree area is changed by
tab/view (unless it's not available in tree area), content of tab/view is
changed by tree area
More precise: A tree area is 'linked' directly with a tab/view, immediate
changes.
3. As I said in previous comment, it's not possible to add e.g. a new Button
'Folder'. But it's possible to change the settings (Name, URL, Icon) for a tree
area button.
And nice to know:
The settings for the start behaviour of Konqueror in Plasma5 are a little bit
tricky:
In the menu 'Configure Konqueror' there is:
a) 'When Konqueror starts:' with drop-down menu and an input field beside it
b) The input field 'Home Page'
b) influences the Button 'Home Folder' in Konqueror (switching between the
field and $HOME)
a) influences the start page of Konqueror and depends on the drop down:
- Show Introduction Page = fixed about:konqueror
- Show My start page = variable
- Show Blank Page = fixed about:blank
- Show My Bookmarks = fixed bookmarks:
Both input fields a) and b) don't work with a simple path (e.g.
/home/<your_home>), but only with the prefix file:///...
On using the Button 'Home Folder' or to start Konqueror without URL or session,
you will get the error "Unsupported Protocol - The protocol <strong></strong>
is not supported by the KDE programs currently installed on this computer.
Possible Causes: The requested protocol may not be supported."
