Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc-4.1.1 OS: Linux I like the looks of the new KDE file manager. But, it lacks this simple functionality - to browse through archives. I am guessing that it shouldn't be too hard to implement that ability and it would be helpful. As far as I can see, Dolphin does support that (if I manually enter the zip:/.../somefile.zip URL), but it doesn't enter the archive when I click on it.
Created attachment 19925 [details] Patch to add the handler for zip files This is a patch for dolphin svn (current). It adds very simplified handler for clicking on a "application/x-zip" file. And it works (just tested it, see the screenshot: http://img92.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dolphinziphandlerai6.png)The same can be copy-pasted for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, ... files. There is one problem though. When you enter the zip file (that is the zip:/ protocol), you stay in the zip protocol when you return to the parent directory (unless you click on back, of course). I am now looking urlnavigator.* and similar files to find a way to bypass that (maybe even hide the zip:/ protocol in the URL).
Thanks a lot Filip for your patch, I've just committed it into SVN :-)
Created attachment 19931 [details] Full support for .tar.* and .zip files I had a busy day, so I didn't find time to resolve this before. I have now made a patch that enables dolphin svn to enter .zip, .tar, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz and other tar-based formats. I have also managed to change urlnavigator.cpp so that it reverts the path to regular one when you exit the archive. I think that this is a useful feature for dolphin. I will backport this patch to dolphin 0.8.2 from kde3 and post it as soon as possible. Best regards Brcha PS: I have just seen that my first patch is already integrated into dolphin :)
Thanks for your additional patch, I'll commit it today in a few hours :-) Regarding Dolphin 0.8.2: I won't release another version for the KDE3 version of Dolphin [1] -> please don't spend too much time for backporting this fix (for sure if you want to do it for yourself, just feel free to do so :-)). Best regards, Peter [1] This is mainly because it takes too much time for me maintaining two versions in parallel...
Hello Filip, I would be very interested in this patch for the KDE3 Dolphin. I just integrated a second sidebar into Dolphin like the KDE4 version has (Though I have to fine-tune my code, as I am a programming beginner :-). In fact I didn't need much lines of additional code for the second sidebar, otherwise I have never could done this). Best regards, Marcel Juhnke
Created attachment 20036 [details] Patch for Dolphin 0.8.2 on KDE3 Here's the patch for Dolphin 0.8.2 (last Dolphin for KDE3). It is also available from Gentoo portage (as kde-misc/dolphin-0.8.2-r1). Best regards Filip
