[SOLVED] Hover Over Folder On Desktop Pops Up Contents
« on: September 14, 2010, 01:14:01 AM »
I should like to know whether the feature that existed somewhere between KDE 4.1 and KDE 4.5 in PCLinuxOS 2010 (where hovering over a folder on the desktop caused a somewhat translucent window-like container displaying the folder's contents to pop up) has been permanently removed?  Or, will it be restored?  Can it be restored by the user -- without downgrading to an earlier KDE version?

I really liked that feature?

Sincerely,
Keltonix

Did you search?   :o  ;D  There are a couple of threads on this.

The function you are looking for is still active but the way you use it has been changed slightly.

When you hover over a desktop folder you can see the + symbol, if you click just under that you'll get the pop up window with the contents of the folder. There is supposed to be a little arrow pointing down there but is only visible with certain themes. The themes that you can see this arrow in is discussed in those threads I posted.

keltonix,

Can you go back to your first/original post and change the title to include [SOLVED] or [RESOLVED]?

Thanks!
