Hi all,
i am using digikam under xfce. The default filemanager within digikam seems to be dolphin. I would like to use thunar instead. Is this possible? I didn't find any configuration within digikam... Anybody out there pushing me in the right direction? Thanks a lot ...

Hi Milan,
thank you for your response. But your advice didn't work. I removed dolphin. Now digikam want to start konqueror. But konqueror eats up all cpu and never finish starting. I reinstalled dolphin.

Look in KDE control panel. There is a settings to adjust default file
manager (if i remember)... Anyway, digiKam do not hard code file manager, but ask to KDE control panel which one to use.

Hi Gilles,
thank you for your advice. But 1) there is no kde control panel in xubuntu 2) i can't find "kcontrol" in the packages 3) qt4-qtconfig has no function to change file manager With kind regards, Alexander Reil Gilles Caulier schrieb: > Look in KDE control panel.

I don't know about xbuntu...
But i'm sure that you can setup that in kcontrol panel.

As far as I can see there isn't really such a thing as a default system file manager, it may be that only KDE believes in such a thing. Each application seems to select its own file manager, I see different file selection dialogues with Firefox, Digikam and the desktop. Digikam seems to use dolphin, the desktop uses thunar, firefox uses something different. You can get some change by setting the xfce desktop preferences so that xfce doesn't manage the desktop but I think that probably only affects applications which obey desktop preferences. (i.e. I think it's probably an X preference of some sort) In other words I suspect that it's a mess and not really anybody's fault. If you run digikam within KDE and like the KDE preferences then all is well but outside KDE there are different ways of setting the defaults and digikam isn't so well behaved with these. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I run XFCE and digikam and I have tried to find it but can't. And I've never seen a file manager come up in any case.

Like you, I needed an uninstalled component of KDE for something related to digikam. In my case, it was khelpcenter. I searched http://packages.ubuntu.com and learned that kcontrol is part of the kdebase package.

(which I also don't use) Icons were the same.... Now when I load up a new release of *ubuntu, I always load kubuntu first and then put XFCE on top. This gets me all of the KDE apps I might want to use (Kmail in particular) so I have all the KDE parts to run the control panel. Will try to get it to run but since it doesn't appear to be directly executable, it might take some looking.

Hi Bruce,
the function i need is "Album", "Open in filemanager" (i'm not sure if this is translated correctly since i use a german localisation). In my version 1.0.0-beta5 this is the first menu item in the menu bar, and the third from the end of the menu. I wouldn't ask this feature, since it is no problem for me to work around this. But i am the "personal administrator" for my dad's pc... he makes his first steps. And for people like him it is hardly to understand, why to use two file managers... for real, my dad is confused. Hope you get the picture. I hoped there was a simple solution. I will try f-spot. Seems not really to be as good as digikam, but maybe it is exactly what my dad needs ...
