Configuring Places, Bookmarks, and Locations in KDE

What Tavis describes works quite well ~ I just tried it out, however it does NOT approach the flexibility that was present in Konqueror in KDE3.5. All you are doing in the "Tavis procedure" is adding another "folder access link icon" to the left side of the Dolphin panel.....Click on that icon and you open its folder on the right hand side to display any subfolders or files. My impression is that in order to get Dolphin to approach the Konqueror layout you would have to copy over every individual folder and file in the Home directory onto that left hand panel, and also those in the Root directory, but you would also lose the single definitive tree structure of your entire system, unless you deleted Home and just kept Root.....And then from what I can see, you would also have to copy over every subfolder (and possibly its files) as well. I haven't dared to try it but I suspect the results would get a little messy.

The difference still remains that Konqueror had two separate panels: a tree structure of the entire system on the left and either a tree or an icon layout on the right and each could behave as separate entities: you could be opening and exploring the tree structure on the left hand side, but until you selected a final file or folder, the righthand side would not move from the last selection. And you could copy from one to the other and delete in either. If I am wrong, I apologise unreservedly, but as far as I can see, Dolphin still cannot automatically do what Konqueror can do, as far as I am concerned.

And while I am being a grouch, what really annoys me is that this type of article seems to indicate that what he is describing in Dolphin is incredibly novel and fantastic. As far as I am concerned, it isn't and it is down right mediocre compared to what Konqueror could do. All it suggests to me is that the writer hasn't used Konqueror in KDE3.5.
