Version: 2.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) OS: Linux dolphin is better (faster and more intelligent) for image browsing now than gwenview (slow since kde4). big compliment for that! For most of my dolphin usage, I use detail-view with small icons and without previews. When I want to browse some images I like to use symbol view with big preview-images. I have to click 2 times: switch to symbol mode, and then activate previews. And for the reverse again... That's why I wish to have a button+shortcut to do that simultaneously. Perhaps a pseudo-mode "image-browsing"? Reproducible: Didn't try Expected Results: see above OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37.6-0.11-desktop Compiler: gcc
> dolphin is better (faster and more intelligent) for image browsing now Thanks! For 4.8.1 already a lot of small improvements have been done (e.g. in 4.8.0 landscape images are scaled way too small) and I hope you'll like it. > I have to click 2 times: switch to symbol mode, and then > activate previews. And for the reverse again... I understand. Just to be sure that I don't miss something: I assume you have enabled the option "General -> Behavior -> (x) Use common view properties for all folders"? I also use the details view for most directories (well now with 2.0 also quite often the compact view...) and for my image folders I too use the icons view + previews. But as I've enabled "(x) Remember view properties for each folder" I don't need to switch at all. So do I understand correctly that you usually also want to use the details view for image-folders but only want to switch "temporary" on demand? I just try to understand why you use the "Use common..."-setting instead of the "Remember view props"-setting.
thanks for your quick response. yes, I use common view for all folders. for me the option, to remember the view for each folder, was always useless (it already exists in windows-95,..), because folders, which I never viewed before, then always show the last activated view, which may be view-mode-x, when switching from view-mode-xx, which is very annoying. so that would be no option for me. so btw another wish: that option would be usable for me, if I could define a predefined view for folders, which don't have a remembered view. but also things like foreign usb-sticks,.. would not be covered by the remember-view-option.
> because folders, which I never viewed before, then > always show the last activated view Hm, thats not the case in Dolphin. You can configure the default view you want to have for folders you don't have visited: Go to a directory which has the view you'd like as default, choose "View -> Adjust View Properties... -> [x] Use these view properties as default". You can also apply the current folder settings recursively to all sub-folders in this dialog. Does this solve your problem?
ah, good hidden option :-) this solves my "second" wish :-) I'll try this option now. still I think my original wish stays. for example to quickly view some images in a mixed folder, view foreign usb sticks with images, or even to use the remember-view-feature for easy defining the view for image-folders.
> still I think my original wish stays Sure. I somehow like the idea too.
same as bug 230244?
