So if you only set the path (both with direct typing and through navigation icon) and then press OK, you get the correct view. Instead if you also change the label row inside the display tab in the first step, you quite always get the problem (1 out ot 10 I was able to get correct setting). Where to bugzilla?

I would expect a wizard asking me how do I want to configure it Your opinion only. Many people only want one setting, and /home would be the choice of many. Actually, it's quicker to change the setting than it would be to go through a wizard. 2) After default creation of home folderview I go in settings and select Specify a folder: putting /home/gcecchi/folder_views/Surfing (through navigation..., not directly)- OK then IT REMAINS on home view: BAD! Odd - I have set up folderviews on three boxes, all quite diferent in hardware and software, and every one points to the directories I have set - including the networked folders. Even with refresh view it remains as home. The new name I set up is changed, but not the contents. I have to come back in settings, rechange it as places - home, then remaining inside the setting window change again un specify a folder (the previous one has been cleared, so I have to renavigate...) and then OK and it works. I would expect at least these very basic features to be solid in a x.2.1 release of a product.. my attempts to evaluate this new 4.x DE seem to fail at the very beginning ;-( Relax :-) It does feel strange at first, but take your time and you'll solve your problems.

Is it only me getting this? Could be :-) I also am running 4.2.1-4.fc10. Just in case something has recently changed I installed a new folderview. The set as the default /home. I clicked on the spanner/wrench and changed Show a Place to 'Downloads'. I got 2 seconds of busy signal, then my Downloads directory was visible. I then tried another, setting Specify a Folder to Downloads. Again it displayed correctly. Then, I went to the Display tab and changed the label to /home/Download. Again, all was well. Finally I tried another, using Specify a Folder, and changing the Display label before exiting - i.e. doing it all as one step. That too displays correctly. What exactly did you do that was different from these tests? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

infor on creating an empy folder view
Using f10 and kde 4.2.1 form updates-testing repo. I would like to create an empty folder view where to put some icons/menus/ecc to have a sort of logical division areas on my desktop (similar to what fences on windows does http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/index.asp) On the desktop, adding widget and selecting folder view, I get by default my home directory folder view. I can customize somehow, but it seems it is bound to a pre-existing directory or a place? Is this correct? Any other way to have sort of virtual folder view and easily achieve what I want? Thanks, Gianluca -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Just create a new folder somewhere and set your folder view to that.
