Found a couple of things that may help
« on: January 31, 2010, 09:26:37 PM »
I'm still new to KDE4 and I figure there may be others in the sme situaton.

I was poking around the web and on my PCLinuxOS system and found a couple of things.

A FAQ at the KDE site states, "Look through the KDE Help Center. KDE ships with a Help Center application that has all the KDE application documentation as well as quite a bit of system documentation in one searchable place. It also includes a few "quickstart" guides. This is always the first place to look for answers to any KDE question."

if I miss my guess, this can be found at Menu>More Applications>Documentation>Help.  The KDE Help Center comes right up.

Also, I found an online KDE4 visual user guide at:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/guide.php

This has already been a big help to me as I just learned about pressing "Alt F2" to get Krunner!:)

Yeap. The Help Center is always a good place to look, and I won't be surprise if we all find something new to learn. And it is Mark!

georgetoon,

Yep...I do a lot of pokin' around myself. Some of the best info is right under our nose.

Might I add that the Dolphin Handbook can be found under Help when one opens Dolphin.

Not to be Captain Obvious, but just about every Navigation Toolbar has a Help Tab:)

Not at all.:)  Sometimes the solution is right there in front of us.  I agree.:)  I've been trying to find an answer to a question regarding multiple desktops and decided to look around a bit.  I haven't found the answer just yet...but I'm finding a whole bunch more.

And, I gotta tell ya...KDE4 is starting to grow on me.:)  There are a couple of things that aren't quite up to full speed, but I know Tex and the folks at KDE will gets things right.:)
