Using Konqueror
Konqueror is a unified Web browser, file manager, docu-
ment viewer, and image viewer. As a file manager, it lets
you display, manage, and create files and generally organize
your file system the way you like.
Start Konqueror as a file manager by clicking the house
icon in the panel. Konqueror displays the contents of your
home directory.
Konqueror Main Window
The Konqueror main window consists of the following ele-
ments:
Menu Bar
The menu bar holds menu items for actions
like copying, moving, or deleting files, changing views,
starting additional tools, defining your settings, and getting
help.
Toolbar:
The toolbar provides quick access to frequently
used functions that can also be accessed via the menu. If
you hover the pointer over an icon, a short description is
displayed.
Location Bar:
The location bar shows the path to your
directory or file in your file system. You can enter a path
to a directory directly by typing it in or by clicking one of
the directories in the display field. Delete the contents of
the location bar by clicking the black symbol with a white
X on the left. After typing an address, press Enter.
Navigation Panel
on the left by pressing F9. The navigation panel displays
your information in a tree view. Determine which contents
you want to see by clicking one of the symbols in the tab
at the left of the navigation panel. If you hold your mouse
pointer over an icon, a short description is displayed.
Display Field:
The display field shows the contents of
the selected directory or file. In the View menu, choose
between different view modes to display the contents, such
as Icon View, Tree View, or Detailed List View. If you click a
file, Konqueror shows a preview of the contents or loads
the file into an application for further processing. If you
hold the mouse pointer over the file, Konqueror shows a
tooltip with detailed information about the file, such as
owner, permissions, or last modification date.
Managing Files and Folders with Konqueror
To perform actions like copying, moving, or deleting files,
you need appropriate permissions to the folders and files
involved in your action.
To copy or move a file or folder, proceed as follows:
1. To select one or multiple files and folders in Konqueror
press
Ctrl
and click the files.
2. Right-click and select Copy or Cut from the context
menu.
3. Navigate to the destination folder in which to insert the
object. Right-click the destination folder and select
Paste. The object is copied or moved there.
You can also use drag and drop to copy or move objects.
When dropping the object, you are asked whether the ob-
ject should be moved or copied.
To delete a file or folder, right-click the object and select
Move to Trash from the context menu. The object is moved
to the trash bin from which you can restore it if necessary
or delete the object irretrievably.
