Description Jens Herden 2005-01-28 13:38:09 UTC

Version:           3.3.91 (using KDE 3.3.91 (beta1), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.104-default

I noticed the new feature that in the sidebar archives are displayed like folders and can be opened. I like this idea but I would prefere to have it configurable since in some of my folders are a lot of archives and then the tree is rather long. 
Or at least have the archives behind the folders and not mixed.

Jens

I think this rather should be put under annoying/hated bugs, wishlist rather sounds like a feature to be implemented.

Comment 6 Stephan Binner 2005-05-22 22:07:57 UTC

Added an hidden option, add "ShowArchivesAsFolders=false" to start of konqsidebartng.rc

Comment 7 Pablo Barros 2005-05-22 22:36:14 UTC

Isn't a "hidden option" a bug, by KDE standards? This should be added as a GUI option, not as a text file option.

> Isn't a "hidden option" a bug, by KDE standards?

No.

Comment 9 Jens Herden 2005-12-19 13:58:12 UTC

While I am happy that I can disable this, I am still not happy that this is so much hidden.
I just checked the default konqsidebartng.rc and I could not find any entry named ShowArchivesAsFolders.

If we are not able to make a GUI option right know then I would suggest to add this option at least to the default config file so that people have at least a minimal chance to find it. 
Of course it must be ShowArchivesAsFolders=true then ;-)

Ok, so this "bug" has received four dupes over 11 months of waiting time, but all we get is a "hidden option" in an rc file?  :)  Please, this is a significant annoyance that was added to KDE without warning or good reason.  (Almost sounds like something that would happen in Windows, ugh.)  Please either disable it by default, or add a GUI option.  There is *plenty* of room in Konq->Configure Konq->Appearance for such a setting.

Comment 11 cerebro84 2005-12-23 21:41:53 UTC

Can't find that entry in konqsidebartng.rc

Comment 12 Adam Porter 2005-12-24 01:30:09 UTC

You have to add it yourself.  Put it at the top, outside of any sections.

Comment 13 Nikolai Försterling 2007-04-27 18:02:10 UTC

Ok, this is a useful information, as the tweak applet stores this setting in the created section "General", which has no effect.
