Stacking thumbnails

Would like to "stack" files or rather thumbnails of files. For example if I have files related by the month, it would be nice to drag the thumbnails on top of each other and have a pile for jan, another for february....etc.. then I could keep them all in a folder named "2007", instead of nesting monthly folders under the 2007 folder. Is this doable in Konq? I am not familiar with scripts, but could one be written or is there one available if Konq cannot do this? Thank you

Problems displaying webpage format

Using Firefox 1.0.2 with KDE 3.3.2 on Mandrake 10.2 for about two years Recently, opening mailpage in Yahoo displays all text in large lettering with no table formats, borders, background colors etc. Some text overwrites other text. Also, animated or flash stuff "flickers" to another part of the screen then settles to the correct position. So far this happens on all three of my online yahoo, (not kmail or evolution) mail account pages and one forum page that I visit. Also, Konqueror is displayin...

Playlist from CD?

Am using kaudiocreator 1.13 in PC LinuxOS v.93. Am ripping a set of about 10 CDs all pressed by the same distributor as a series. Each CD however has different artists. For some reason kac found all the playlist information on one of the CDs, but now that I am ripping more of them, it cannot locate any playlists for the other discs. I don't think kac used CDDB to locate the 1st CD list because I DID NOT ask it to lookup CDDB.....it just filled in the album and tracks with the correct information...

new to email - lost

Am used to using the email provided by Yahoo. Would like to learn about email but this is not going well. Google and Kmail docs return this: Setting up Network Connections The settings under ‘Network’ (in the ‘Configure KMail’ menu) instruct KMail how to receive and send e-mail. There are two tabs, one each for sending and for receiving mail. Many of these settings vary depending on the system and network where your mail server is located. If you are not sure about the settings or which items to...

KDE print mgr

Have never been able to use KDE print manager to install a printer because at end of wizard, it asks for a password. Then error message "authentication failed" user=<name> or I do not have "access to requested resources". I have read the KDE print handbook and the wizard final confirmation page in the manual is blank!!! I always configure my printers in the Mandrake Control Center because of this, but would like to use the KDE mgr. It seems that only after I install printers with MCC, then I am ...

Themes confusion

Using Mandrake 10.0 Figured out adding fonts yesterday, but themes are giving me trouble. Went to kde themes page but completely lost about: 1. What are levels? 2. I installed one .tar.gz theme from a 3rd party site and it installed fine, but from kde, it was also a .tar.gz file but error message - this file is not a valid icon archive 3. notice that icons are in a separate link. does this mean they are included in the themes, but can be d/loded by themselves? 4. Some .tar.gz files work by left ...

dwnload and install Koffice 1.4

Using Koffice 1.3 on Mandrake 10.0. Is it possible to upgrade to 1.4 or better to start fresh? I like the looknfeel of Koffice, but there are several glaring bugs. Have these been fixed in 1.4? (like no printing in Kspread until you reset print area) Can someone direct me to a tutorial that is very thorough in explaining safe removal of koffice 1.3 and then download and install of Koffice 1.4. Many times there are several .tgz files but no explainations as to which one to use and why. Have used ...

OK....new crash scenario. MDK 10.0 KDE 3.2 In the process of installing flashdrive for bigger files, I noticed that inserting the flashdrive froze the system and would have to hard boot. Enter new problem ...on boot, I get to LILO screen>enter linux> get X screen, then instead of KDE, get terminal window in lower right with no borders. Prompt responds sporadically...or not at all, have had to hard boot several times now. When I do get a response I type in “KDE” and receive : “fatal server error”...

artsd crash

Yeeaahhh! OK....created new user, logged in and so far no crashes. This means something in my personal config got messed up, but I tried to reset all defaults. Would a fsck be of any use? 1. What is best way to transfer my existing files to the new user home folder. 2. You said something about backup ~./kde and reload a fresh install of KDE. Am new to linux and CL. I have no idea how to do this. Would it be better to reinstall the OS. Since I don't have a lot of files I could do this in 20 min. ...
