Ummm... yes I did. I was monitoring an FTP download while I was typing
this and I sure got it mixed up. :-) Pan's a nice newsreader - and I
wish it could browse files.

You sure did. That happens to me a lot. I can only connect once a day
(and that only if our lousy government run ISP happens to be working) so
I often answer threads that unknown to me have already moved on. I must
be on several people's twit filters by now for this.

So I see now. Sorry, rikona, can't help you there.

I have a pentium 1 @233MHz, and Nautilus and Konqueror work at
acceptable speeds.

gqview is much lighter and faster than Nautilis, Konqueror, et al. Works
great even on an older system.

J> if I understand you correctly, try urpmi gqview ;)

A good suggestion, especially given the name. :-) It does view graphic
images quite nicely, but it doesn't seem to do other kinds - text,
data bases, word docs, spreadsheets, etc, as QuickView does. Nice tool
for what it does though.

In Mandrake 9.1 Konqueror will display previews of many file types as icons 
including text, audio and image files. You can choose the icon size .
If Settings>LoadViewProfile>FilePreview is selected another pane appears on 
the right showing a large preview of any icon you select in the left pane.

Not sure how much of that is in konq in 9.0

Not sure exactly what you want to see, but have you tried Konqueror > 
Settings > Configure Konqueror > Previews ?  You can get a thumbnail 
of images, for instance, and text documents hint at opening words.

Nautalus for Gnome allows the icons for text files to show the top of the file as part 
of the icon.

If that's not what you are looking for, both KDE's Konqueror and Gnome's Nautulas 
allow you to set up file type associations to any file type you want and open them in 
a text editor.  There are MANY small text editors to choose from.

[newbie] File viewer (like QuickView for Win)?

2003-06-01 Thread rikona
Hello,

Is there a file viewer for MD, perhaps similar to QuickView for
Windows, that allows one to browse dir trees & files, and can display
the files (without opening them) as you scroll through them?
