How's the weather?

[claydoh]

Threads staying on-topic? In KFN?? Doesn't that make quite a lot of us trolls, then

[woodsmoke]

nickstone is NOT a troll.

I've been known to do some off topic posting and got put into detention for it but nobody said that I was a troll.

Maybe kinda stoopid and from the midwest but not a troll! lol

I know trolls, and Nick is no troll!
Liking Gnome better than KDE is no heresy. I don't understand it but it's not a capital offense.
Using Win10 (or 8) is. Win7 not so much, but sometime circumstances force one to use Win7.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement...

You could use or fan whatever. It is your business. But if you post off-topic messages then I will call you a troll.

NickStone a Gnome Troll?

I don't think so.
Sure, according to Scandinavian and Germanic folklore many trolls are gnomes and vice versa

When I got my first install of Redhat Linux it had the options of using the Gnome and KDE desktops.
Pretty soon I found out that in KDE I could copy and paste between applications (in the day we called them programs) and Gnome was lacking this sort of integration.

That's what from the get-go has been the underlying difference between Gnome and KDE, integration.

To the OP, good tip Paul. I knew this myself, but good idea to point it out to the newcomers. IMO, it allows you to continue using dolphin while the previous task completes so I like it. However, I have been "gotcha"'d a couple times. Usually, I have begun a large operation, like moving several GBs of files in a single operation, then go off to something else - like a browser, then return to dolphin without checking first to see if the previous command had completed. I see folders remaining and think they got left behind and attempt to move them again, which causes errors as you can imagine. I've not had any file corruptions though.

The default is not the only option

As the sithlord48 & kubicle wrote you could disable the plasma notifications but this is KDE so there are alternative ( more advanced ?) plasma notifications:

USU Notifications

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=158063

Description:
Alternative KDE notifications, based on QML and org.kde.notofications, but with more features...

The copy with the default:




With the USU:




The Default/USU:




... and the third option:

Colibri

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...content=117147

Description:
What is it?
Colibri provides an alternative to KDE4 Plasma notifications.

Colibri notifications look lighter and are completely passive: they do not provide any buttons. You may or may not like this.

The Colibri is in the Ubuntu repositories - The USU is a plasma script: 'Add Widgets -> Get new widgets...'

You should be able to click that icon to display a progress bar. It can display at the top or the bottom of the screen. I do that when copying large files that take some time.

Hmm that little icon, yes I always keep an eye on it.
And I didn't/ don't agree with the change a while back from then a pie-chart to now a similar round icon with a linear progression.

Thank for the tip, and I'm very fond of KDE on linux

[kubicle]

if you happen to be using dolphin outside of kde (like i do with razor-Qt) you will get the old style pop up copy dialog. just wondering if there is a way to make that defalut in kde anymore . mighe be useful for some users.

Yes, if you exclude "file operations and jobs" in the notification widget's settings you'll get a pop up dialog.
