File management function of Konqueror in Gutsy and Ibex.

[Bas Roufs]

Dear Dotan, Dear Everybody

You, Dotan, kindly asked me to elaborate on the following:

>> However it may be, the Konqueror I found it in 'Ibex' has become less practical for me,
>> because it seems to be more complicated to navigate inbetween all the
>> maps and partitions of the PC.

I am happy to explain this position a bit more.

In Gutsy, Kubuntu 7.10, I used the file management function of
Konqueror intensely. It was extremely practical for me because of at
least three important features.
One feature was the practical interaction between the left-hand
navigation panel and the right hand file lists. This feature allowed
me to quickly and easily copy-paste or move files and even whole
folders from wherever to wherever.
A second feature was the possibility to quickly navigate from anywhere
to everywhere trough out every part of the PC.
A third feature was the possibility to view the list of files on the
right hand panel in different ways: detailed-list, icon view, etc.

The file manage function of Konqueror is simply much more complicated
for me. Only navigation along  the  files and folders and in the HOME
directory seam to be easy. For all other partitions, I need to give in
a password, before proceeding. Via Konqueror at Ibex, I only manage to
access them via some complicated bypass: first I need to click at
'Media',  than I can click at the different single disks, partitions,
etc. Also copy-pasting and moving files/ folders has become more
complicated. The interaction between the left navigation panel and the
right hand file list is not so smooth any more.

If you need more feedback or reflection from my side, I am happy to
provide it to you, Dotan.

Respectfully Yours,

Bas.
