[SOLVED] From Desktop file to Desktop

[kubobbu]

Me again, with one of those easy questions that I should know the answer to but don't.

I have a file which I downloaded. I copied it from Downloads to Desktop. But how do I get the file from the Desktop folder onto the Desktop The Dolphin window is so large that I cannot simply drag the file because I can't see the Desktop. And the file does not show up in Applications, under any heading, so I can't drag it from there.

How do I get this file onto the Desktop so I can click on it and use it from there??

Thanks
Bob

Resize the Dolphin window so it doesn't take up the entire desktop.

Thanks, Snowhog for the idea... but I couldn't figure out how to resize the Dolphin window. I tried grabbing every corner and edge, but it will not drag and shrink.

I did solve the problem, however. I opened the program I wanted, then closed it again. Then I went to the K menu, found the program listed in Recently Used, and was able to drag it from there to the Desktop.

Not exactly neat and simple, but whatever works, works, I guess.

Thanks again to all.

It's easy to fix a application that 'opens full screen' by right-clicking on the title bar, clicking on Advanced > Special Application Settings..., clicking OK, click on the Geometry tab and check Size and select Remember or Force and specifying the geometry.
