Dolphin context menu and terminal  Topic is solved

Tue Mar 06, 2012 11:37 pm
Hello

For some time I was using KDE but I decided to switch to different desktop manager (XFCE), but still I am very fond of Dolphin so I installed it. Now I run into two problems. Under KDE when I right clicked in folder I had option 'open terminal here' which was very useful. Now under xfce I have 2 problems:

1. I have terminal not konsole for 'terminal' so when I press shift+f4 it says that KDEInit can't find konsole, is there a place where I can choose which 'terminal' to boot up, if not is there some workaround?

2. I don't have this 'context' menu which I had when I was using KDE, the only way I can use 'open terminal here' is through shift+f4. It is not very frustrating, because it is faster but still I think that this could be fixed.

For the first question, did you try to change the terminal emulator in System Settings -> Default applications?

Cheers


I'm working on the KDevelop IDE.

And for the second, try Menu (far right icon in the toolbar) -> Configure Dolphin... -> Services -> check "Open Terminal Here" in the list.

Sweet. In case you didn't know, since you have Konsole installed now you can press F4 to show an embedded terminal in Dolphin.
