Description Karsten 2011-07-03 22:54:48 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

A option to auto expand and collapse when mouse is over a folder would be nice.

There is workaround ( http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/3069447/ ), but I think a option in the GUI is better!




Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
nothing

For the workaround open the config-file with kate:

"~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc"

Then searching for the plugin "folderview". Now you can add the option "clickForFolderPreviews=false" to the relevant section!

Here is a example:

################################################
[Containments][1][Applets][2][Configuration]
Share=false
clickForFolderPreviews=false
filter=0
filterFiles=*
geometry=20,35,600,400
immutability=1
mimeFilter=
plugin=folderview
sortDirsFirst=true
url=file:///home/greg
zvalue=1
################################################

After that, you have to run the follow commands in "krunner" (alt+F2):

1. kquitapp plasma-desktop
2. plasma-desktop
