Hello . :)
After an update with backports repository added to my sources list,
i have lost this option. Now the version of plasma-widget-folder-view is 4.5.3 .
Is there anyway to fix it ?

Thank you.

What version was it before? Did you try click the little arrow next to the icons?

There was a change in behavior since many users complained about this feature. In newer versions you have to hover over an icon and click on a small arrow, as TheBlackCat mentioned.

Good evening my friends and thank you for your replies.
I had read about this small arrow ( i think so .... not so sure ) and i never
saw it ! The only think i have seen is a very small cycle up and left of an icon in folderview. The only action that I perceive for this is just the selection of item (you know, like pressing the Ctrl key).

[off topic] Now i am stuck in the process of start the kdm.
i was trying to find a losution ( xD Huhhh! I mean solution ..but "losution" is a nice word to Describe the situation after I was lost
and my excellent idea was that : If i uninstall the kde at all and if i disable all the repositories which i was added as the time passes ( you know!! This internet is full of temptations. This is my sources list now ...but so many repositories and i don't remember why i used them

) and do clean autoclean autoremove and update.
my system will return at the 4.4.2 version.

But i saw that all the packages are coming with 4.5.3 version.
I saw also that those packages are coming from the backports.
How come did all this? At the begining of therelative line i put a # 8)
The point is that if i type
Code: Select all
sudo init 1
in the terminal a ncourses screen open, contains options such as : resume, dpkg, clean, xfailsafe. With nothing i can run kdm.


Aaaa ! I forgot to tell you ... the reason i was doing all of this is that i downgraded some package to achieve that i want.
For 1 hour i had again this feature of the widget. But on right click the plasma-desktop has crashed.

Now i have only command line [/ off topic]
