Re: [kde] File association query

The script runs in a Konsole window when I click on a .mid in Konqueror file BUT the Konsole window close when the script exits. This is working for me. On KDE 4.8.4 and I think also before. How can I get to remain open ? Maybe it works when you do it like this, which also provides more flexibility: Right-click on the file - settings - spanner icon, then add an application to the list at the bottom. There you put the name of your script as before, but you do not need to enable the terminal. When that application was added, click the edit button. Now you can specify more detailed stuff. Go to the 'program' tab, click the 'advanced settings' button. Here, you can specify to open in a terminal, and to let the terminal stay open after the program ended. I'd also disable the startup notification. If that doesn't help, you probably need a workaround like Björn suggested. Maybe with an option to your script, so it wouldn't also wait when you run it directly from the terminal.

Re: [kde] convert to kde on Windows 7

I'd assume that the install drive is stored somewhere, and unless you make /dev/sdb show up as your C: drive, this won't work. Would a whole drive even show up as such in Windows, or wouldn't it have top be a partition like /dev/sdb1? I'd simply do the dd command, or better something like dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/externaldrive/windows.dump so you can use the rest of the external drive for other things.

It looks to me like you DO wind up with a KDE desktop and most of the KDE aps that I have in Linux. Of course, maybe not all of them work, I don't know. Specifically, it does look as if Dolphin is there, and card games, but I couldn't verify the Find Files/Find Folders app. Believe me ... it is no KDE Desktop you end up with, it is embedded into win by the use of a dll-file. On my laptop I have installed Amarok and Digikam and they lack some functionallity I know from my penguins. About the Find Files/Folders ... I guess because the win command isn't as powerful as the *nix command (but everything is based on it via dll) you might not find what you're looking for. Id suggest you try Duncan's suggestion (Cygwin) ... -- Talk to you later ...

What's choked, snubbed, DHT mean? And score? And Upload Slot and Requests. Maybe you are an aficionado and know the meaning of all these terms. As a new user of Ktorrent, I am impressed with the functionality of Ktorrent, but not impressed at the lack of help. Yes, we DO NEED a manual. Sincerely These are generic torrent network terms; even if there was a manual, this probably wouldn't be documented. As far as I remember -- Choked -- All bandwidth of the peer is occupied. Upload Slot -- For uploading purposes, how many peers should be connected to you at a time. Others I don't know, you may like to search for the terms. There is a very basic page at http://userbase.kde.org/KTorrent - it would be very useful to have a glossary attached to that (I can create a new subpage for it, if there are enough terms to warrant that). The advantage of doing it there is that we can get the terms translated into many languages. All that would remain, then, would be to have a link to UserBase in the Help menu. UserBase is a wiki, so any additional information being added to the page would be appreciated.
