Column view, but width of window filled up with columns, scrolling horizontally.

Use Dolphin. Click "Details" mode on the top menu. Click "split" if you need 2 panels.

Ick. Dolphin. I hide it off the menus, even!

Looking for konq solution.

Or, in Konqueror, click the down-arrow to the right of the Home icon and select Home Folder. Then click on on the Columns view icon.

Well, if you can get Konq to do better than this, let's see it!

I guess I wasn't clear - I said list view in windows explorer. Not detail view. Yes, konq has detailed view - not what I'm looking for. Think 'ls'. But rather than scrolling down (a la column view), scrolling across. Column view would be OK, if it showed more than one column, and it scrolled right, not down.

I didn't say Dolphin isn't capable, only, ick. Not to my taste.

I'm just looking for konq to do it. It does so much else so well as well, I'd like to stay with it.

Dolphin vs. konq, aside from this (functional) view, comes down to personal preferences. You prefer dolphin, cool. I don't. That's cool too. Whatever floats your boat. Dolphin doesn't float mine.

Yes, I know of column view. (Usually I just hit the red root / folders view icon.)

Think 'ls'. Take this column view, expand the screen to fit the whole width, as icon and detailed view do, and fill it with more than just the 1 column. Further, whatever doesn't fit on the screen, fill (scroll) to the right.

a la windows explorer list (not icon, not detail) view. Or 'ls'.

I don't think you will get Konqueror to do what you are asking for. Konqueror is first of all a Web Browser that also has (some) functionality as a File Manager. Dolphin on the other hand, is a File Manager - period. As such, it has features expected in such an application.

open 2 instances of Konqueror?

Actually, I believe you have that backwards. konqueror was a file manager long, long, long before it was a web browser. Web browsing was added to it, not the other way around. There never used to be such a thing as a 'profile' in it. IIRC

So, back to the original question: Windows explorer view equivalent in Konqueror. Thus far, the answer is no. Anyone else?

[I don't quite get how, given everyone's familiarity with 'ls', especially the developer's, it isn't the default view. Curious.]

That got me interested, and I found:

Konqueror was originally created to serve as a replacement for KFM (KDE File Manager) in the KDE desktop. But quickly after it was made the official replacement it became apparent that Konqueror would make a great web browser as well. The name "Konqueror" was originally a play on the two major web browsers at the time of its creation: Explorer and Navigator. The first release of Konqueror came out with KDE 2.0 October 23, 2000.

But do note, that "...quickly after it was made the official replacement it became apparent that Konqueror would make a great web browser as well." The emphasis on the development of Konqueror as as Web Browser over that of a File Manager became the primary focus, which is still the case today.

But it's still a really nice, wonderfully capable, file browser.

One of the things that it made me realize, eventually, was it's just a browser. And it's all just browsing. Be it browsing the web, browsing files, it's all just browsing.

Sort of like a light bulb went off that day.

You sort of see it today with Web 2, and especially with Windows 7 - Windows Explorer has become the ubiquitous 'browser of all things.' Or, the window by which all things are viewed. A pane of glass.

Which is, by the time of Windows 7, all sort of arse backwards ... if they had just made Windows Explorer web browser capable, you'd never have had Internet Explorer, you'd have had ... konqueror. Fancy that! (-:

But it's still weird, given ls ...

Re: konqueror list view a la windows explorer

The best I could get it was this:

View->View Mode->Detail

Then, on the columns bar, right click and you can add permissions, owner, group, etc...etc... to make it look somewhat like ls -la output.

Hope that helps!!!

Yeah, I thought of that. Kills the detail view, though, for when you do actually want it.

You make me think ... what we really want is custom views. Then you could copy the detail view, modify it as you suggest, and still have both available.
