Hello!

I tried many linux file manager - and finally I see dolphin is what is best for me!

I like to browse in "icon mode" with grid arragement "columns" an no preview.

When I open a directory with lots of pictures, I just press "preview" button, and all images are shown big and with preview - thats great!

BUT they are still arranges horizontally, and to make them arrange "vertical" i have to go to preferences and change the grid arrangement to "rows".

Is there a better way, something like a shortcut to switch quickly between icon grid arrangement columns and rows?

(In Windows 7 one can choose rightclick>list view and all files are arranges in collumns, but choosing thumnail mode arranges them in rows - I want something similar)

And by the way is there any way to preload dolphin so it starts faster?

Thank you!

No, not currently. Why do you want to change it?

Have a look>

This way I like to browse my files (list view = icon mode + columns)


But when I click on preview, all the images are also arranges in this way :
(and in my opinion scrolling picture thumbnails horizontally is not so good)


It would be much better if they now would be arranged in rows



I work a lot with photos, so this is something I like in windows explorer, because it does this by default.

You can post a brainstorm idea about this. It shouldn't be very hard to change, it is a matter of getting someone to do it and providing a sufficiently compelling use-case. I think the very small icon case may satisfy the latter, although the former may be a bit more difficult.

OK I did it
