    Side preview: Where is it?

    Exploring Dolphin or Konqueror the other day, I came across a nice option. With the Detailed list of photos in one pane, there was a "side preview" option in which the photos appeared in a right pane when the cursor was simply hovered over the photo title. Now I can't find that option! Is anyone familiar with it, and able to point me to it? I think it had to be in either Konqueror (I thought that's where it was) or Dolphin.

    Dolphin > View > Panels > Information
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

      Thanks, but that doesn't do it. The right pane was the full vertical length of the left one (where the photo filenames were shown) but it contained a preview of the actual photo, not just information about the file. Moving the cursor slowly down through the left pane was like seeing a slide show in the right pane.

        Yes, that really is the one. Above the information, a preview is there of the photo.
        Most important laptop specs (this is my main computer, with Kubuntu on it):<br /><br />4096MB RAM (DDR2)<br />500GB Hard Disk<br />ATI Mobility Radeon 4570HD Videocard with 512MB GDDR3 RAM, up to 2280MB VRAM<br />Intel® Core™ 2 Duo-processor T6600<br /><br />OS: Kubuntu 10.10

          You can configure previews in Settings - Configure Dolphin - General - Previews

          Probably best if you play with that a little bit.

            Thanks! Yes, right-clicking in the Info pane and selecting "preview" gives the photo! That gets what I wanted.

            I still wonder where I saw that "side preview" option listed, though.

                That just toggles the Information panel on and off. Maybe my memory is playing tricks, but I clearly recall seeing the phrase "side preview" on the screen. Actually, I thought it was when I was playing with Konqueror. No biggie... I've got what I really wanted, thanks to your help here.
