<title>Previews</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&konqueror; has a
|
|
preview feature for many file types, including <acronym>HTML</acronym>
|
|
files, images, &PostScript; and <acronym>PDF</acronym>, sound, web
|
|
archives (if you have the appropriate &konqueror; plugin installed)
|
|
and text files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you enable previews for one of these, files of that particular
|
|
file type will not be represented by standard icons in the filemanager, but
|
|
will instead be shown as miniature previews. On slow computers, the
|
|
previews can take some time to show up, so you might not want to enable
|
|
this feature.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In this module you can specify which <quote>protocols</quote>
|
|
you wish the previews to be available for. Creating the previews
|
|
requires that &konqueror; download at least part of the file, in order
|
|
to create the preview. &konqueror;, like the rest of &tde; is
|
|
entirely network transparent, and will treat a remote &FTP; folder
|
|
just as if it was on your local hard drive. This can result in a
|
|
delay, especially if you are viewing, for example, a folder full of
|
|
images over a slow network connection.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For each protocol, you can independently enable or disable
|
|
previews. For example, you might enable previews for
|
|
<acronym>NFS</acronym> mounted drives if you have a fast network, but
|
|
disable them for &FTP; because your Internet connection is via a
|
|
modem.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can further refine the maximum size file that &konqueror;
|
|
will attempt to show a preview for. The default is 1 MB. In other
|
|
words, by default, if a file is 900 kB in size, and the protocol you
|
|
are viewing the folder with is enabled, then &konqueror; will
|
|
create a preview icon for it. If the file is 1.1 MB in size,
|
|
&konqueror; will not make a preview, even if the protocol is
|
|
enabled.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can turn on and off previews <quote>on the fly</quote> from
|
|
within &konqueror;, using the <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu. For
|
|
example, if you normally want to see image previews on every protocol,
|
|
but find a particular server is very slow to send you the data, you
|
|
might turn it off for the present, and turn it on again later.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may also like to enable the checkbox <guilabel>Increase size
|
|
of previews relative to icons</guilabel>, in order to see more
|
|
information in the thumbnails.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Many image files already contain a thumbnail. You can enable
|
|
the <guilabel>Use thumbnails embedded in files</guilabel> to make use
|
|
of these. This will save time waiting for thumbnails to be created
|
|
when viewing a folder full of images you have not previously seen in
|
|
&konqueror;.</para>
