Hello

I have placed the folder viewer plasmoid in the panel so that I can access my files faster. In 4.1.3 there was the possibility to move down in the directory structure, now in 4.2 RC1 I can only browse in the first directory level an a click on a directory opens Dolphin. I would like to navigate in the plasmoid.
Has this feature been removed or did I just chosse a false plasmid.

By and thanks a lot

Afaik, the Quick Access plasmoid provides this functionality: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=84128

Thanks,

this is it, unforunately this is not available for KDE 4.2RC1 it requires libplasma.so.2 which is not installed
rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libplasma.so.2
error: file /usr/lib/libplasma.so.2: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
It seems that this is only available in kde4runtime <4.1.60

Seems to be a known bug according to the discussion on the above mentioned page.
Will follow this an post an update her when it works.

Kubuntu has QuickAccess packages for KDE 4.2. The patch on the kde-look page is really all that's needed to port it.

Hello,

quite some time ago since I have done my last compile..

Actually how do I apply the patch? I get a the source tgz and the patch but I could not find out how to patch correctly?

as prefix for openSUSE I assume that /usr/share/kde4 is the path I need to use, do I?

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install

Thanks a lot

Hiya bushveld.

I've been downloading the .deb's from the ubuntu repo's and converting them with alien to .rpm's for my opensuse installs.

I've just downloaded the latest one and converted it.

Get it Here.

Working perfectly on opensuse 11 / KDE4.2rc

Cheers.

Place yourself outside of the quickaccess source directory (just one level above), then do:

Code: Select all

patch -p0 < path/to/patch

You may want to add the --dry-run option to "fake" patching and see if everything works correctly.

You're not done yet, however. You need to alter the CMakeLists.txt file because it was written before libplasma entered kdelibs. On line 23 of CMakeLists.txt , replace PLASMA_LIBS with KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS. Also comment out (with #) line 7, because it calls an obsolete cmake macro.

After that, it's the usual cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` etc...

Since you're on openSUSE, make sure you have libkonq-devel installed or the build will fail.

I'll post this here, even though it's a bit off topic.
I cant get my quick access to work on a desktop, it dosen't show anything it just sits there.
And I agree with OP; Folder view should be "navigatable".
Mostly because my Quick access doesn't work right.
I have:
KDE 4.2RC1 (4.1.96)
Kubuntu 8.10

Hey,

thanks sounds logical but can't fix it...Do you have any idea how I can get rid of the message ?

By and thanks
bushveld

@Einer,

Thank you! Thank you!

Finally I've managed to get quick-access to work in 4.2 again!

@bushveld: install libkde4-devel, kdebase4-workspace-devel and libkonq-devel, then try again.

Thanks!

the recompile as well as logs_con's rpm works fine for me. Finally it is back!
