Krusader questions...

[alquimista]

Hi,
I just installed Krusader...

1- Is there any option in Kubuntu to configure it as the default file manager, instead of Dolphin? I have folder shotrcuts in the main panel, and opens Dolphin by default.
2- Is there a way, like in Doplhin, to enable/disable the 2 window files view? I usually want to get just one files window, instead of having 2; the last I just use when I want to copy files.
3- Is there a way to see a tree file structure? I miss it a lot from Windows File explorer... it povides a global view for file management.

Thank you,
Guillermo

What i tried:

K > Utilities > Right click Krusader > Edit item -> Ctrl - c, Ctrl-v (copy&paste) -> Now you have Krusader-2

Changing=> Command: krusader -caption "%c" %i %m to krusader --left %U --right %U

krusader --help:

Options:
--left <path> Start left panel at <path>
--right <path> Start right panel at <path>

Chapter 26. Customizing KDE:

%u

A single URL: if the app can handle e.g. FTP or HTTP URLs itself, otherwise KDE.
%U

A list of URLs; will download the file first and pass a local file to the app (!!)

Save and quit KDE menu editor.


Press Alt + F2 type kcontrol -> KDE Components > File associations -> Inode -> directory -> Application Preference Order > Add > Utilities > Krusader-2

Now directories shoud open with the Krusader (working here).

Hmm - if there is, i didn't find it (look #3). Krusader, Twin-Panel File Manager.

3- Is there a way to see a tree file structure? I miss it a lot from Windows File explorer... it povides a global view for file management.
