i am using kubuntu 10.10 or 10.04 and i have a stupid issue...

a lots of time i upgrade kde and so i like delete $HOME/.kde

so often i lost my custum settings and yea i could save them but i wondering if there is a way to enable the filter bar for each users by default

the filter bar i think it's the most important thing i have to have (xD) so...

i was thinking i will find dolphinrc somewhere and so try to use locate dolphinrc and i get only dolphinrc into my $HOME

into

/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/

there is not dolphinrc

so i can't modify that file

where is the default dolphinrc ? or how should i do ?
is that created dynamically ?
thank you

The file is only created when someone changes the dolphin settings away from the default. At least for my system, the default settings appear to be stored in this file:

/usr/share/kde4/config.kcfg/dolphin_generalsettings.kcfg

Looking to this



cat /usr/share/kde4/config.kcfg/dolphin_generalsettings.kcfg | grep filter

it seems it's the correct file to modify

ty so much

i tried and it seems it's working but i have to set better dolphin

now i have edited the file

kdesudo kate /usr/share/kde4/apps/dolphin/dolphinui.rc

to get Up button ... and it worked

<ToolBar noMerge="1" name="mainToolBar" >
<text context="@title:menu">Main Toolbar</text>
<Action name="go_back" />
<Action name="go_forward" />
<Action name="go_up"/>
<Separator name="separator_1" />
<Action name="icons" />
<Action name="details" />
<Action name="columns" />
<Separator name="separator_0" />
<Action name="show_preview" />
<Action name="split_view" />
</ToolBar>

on kubuntu kcfg is not the file to modify

i am trying to set filter bar and disk usage for each user with this




kdesudo kate /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/dolphinrc

they did that folder and ... what i have to say... on natty alpha there is dolphinrc on the other release like lucid no.

adding


[General]
EditableUrl=true
FilterBar=true
ShowFullPath=true
ShowSpaceInfo=true
RenameInline=true
ShowCopyMoveMenu=true

and it seems is working but i have to test more this solutions should be THE solution but untill i don't test on a fresh installation i will not be sure 100% :S i want a kubuntu that just works and has every features i need for these pc.

i can't undestand why creating dolphinrc on that folder (lucid) the system doesn't use it

The configuration between Natty and Lucid in /etc/kde4rc is likely different, or the compiled in options are different.

lucid

cat /etc/kde4rc
[Directories-default]
prefixes=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/

natty

[Directories-default]
prefixes=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/

mm the same bah... i have to test remove kubuntu-desktop and install kde-standard metapackage maybe something could append anyway i hope the next LTS will be ready even for noob systemadim like me


ty all for answers
