File Manager

At a first glance, Konqueror looks just like a normal file manager:

  • It displays files and directories using the "icon view" (three icon sizes) or the "tree view" (detailed view in which you can open sub-directories)
  • It allows copying, moving and deleting, by direct drag and drop or by using copy, cut and paste.
  • It provides properties on a file, to see and change its attributes in a dialog box.
Simple icon view

This screenshot demonstrates that Konqueror has all of the simple and standard functionality of the other "modern" filemanagers. It is a single window with an icon view.

 
Framed view

A Konqueror window is not limited to simply being a "filemanager" window, or a "web browser" window - it is possible to view a presentation, a spreadsheet, a local directory, a web page, and more...

 
KOffice documents in a window

Of course, it also makes a very nice preview program for all of the KOffice modules, as well...

 

One other interesting feature of Konqueror is that it provides automatic updating of directories - if a file is created in a directory which is currently being viewed, it is not necessary to refresh or reload the directory; Konqueror automatically shows the new content. The same situation occurs with files which have been deleted - they simply disappear, without any refreshing/reloading necessary.
