Suse Linux 9.3 For Dummies- P8 Chapter 6: Finding and Organizing Files 85 Using GUI File Managers Both GNOME and KDE desktops come with GUI file managers that enable you to easily browse the file system and perform tasks such as copying or moving files. The GNOME file manager is called Nautilus and the KDE file manager is Konqueror. I briefly introduce these GUI file managers in the following sections. Conquering the file system with Konqueror Konqueror is a file manager and Web browser that comes with KDE. It’s intuitive to use — somewhat similar to the Windows Active Desktop. You can manage files and folders (and also view Web pages) with Konqueror. Viewing files and folders When you double-click a folder icon on the desktop, Konqueror starts automat- ically. For example, click the Home Folder icon on the KDE panel. Konqueror runs and displays the contents of your home directory (think of a directory as a folder that can contain other files and folders). Figure 6-3 shows a typical user’s home directory in Konqueror. Figure 6-3: You can view files and folders in Konqueror. If you’ve used Windows Explorer, you can use Konqueror in a similar manner.Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark. 86 Part II: Test Driving SUSE The Konqueror window is vertically divided into two panes: A narrow left pane shows icons you can click to perform various tasks in Konqueror. A wide right pane uses icons to show the files and folders in the cur- rently selected folder. Konqueror uses different types of icons for different files and shows a pre- view of each file’s contents. For image files, the preview is a thumbnail ver- sion of the image. The Konqueror window’s title bar shows the name of the currently selected directory. The Location text box (along the top of the window) shows the full name of the directory — in this case, Figure 6-3 shows the contents of the /home/naba directory. Use the leftmost vertical row of buttons to select other things to browse. When you click one of these buttons, a middle pane appears with a tree menu of items that you can browse. For example, to browse other parts of the file system, do the following: 1. From the icons in the Konqueror window’s left pane (refer to Fig- ure 6-3), click the Root Folder icon (the second icon from the bottom, the one that looks like a folder). A tree menu of directories appears in a middle pane. 2. In the tree view of directories in the middle pane, locate the folder that you want to browse and click the plus sign next to that folder to view any other folders inside that folder. For example, to look inside the etc folder, click the plus sign next to the etc folder. Konqueror displays the other folders inside etc and changes the plus sign to a minus sign. 3. To view the contents of the X11 subdirectory inside the etc folder, scroll down the middle pane and click X11. The pane on the right now shows the contents of the /etc/X11 directory. Konqueror displays the contents of a folder using different types of icons. Each directory appears as a folder, with the name of the directory shown underneath the folder icon. Ordinary files appear as a sheet of paper. The Konqueror window has the usual menu bar and a toolbar. You can view the files and folders in other formats as well. For example, from the menu, choose View➪View Mode➪Detailed List View to see the f ...
