KDEPrinting

 

kprinter, KDE's new printing utility supports different print subsystems. These subsystems differ very much in their abilities.

Among the supported systems are:

 

CUPS, the new Common UNIX Printing System;

LPR/LPD, traditional BSD-style printing;

RLPR (no need for "printcap" editing or root privileges to use network printers);

printing through an external program (generic).

 

Not all print subsystems provide equal abilities for KDEPrint to build on.

The KDEPrinting Team recommends installing a CUPS-based software as the underlying print subsystem.

 

CUPS provides easy usage, powerful features, broad printer support and a modern design (based on IPP, the "Internet Printing Protocol"). Its usefulness is proven for home users as well as for large networks.

You can use Konqueror to browse through tar archives, even compressed ones. You can extract files simply by dragging them to another place, e.g. another Konqueror window or the desktop.

Most non-KDE sound applications that do not know about the sound server can be run using the artsdsp command. When the application is run, accesses to the audio device will be redirected to the artsd sound server.

The command format is:

Σε πολλες διανομες by default οι φακελλοι ανοιγουν με ενα κλικ. Αν θελετε να ανοιγουν με διπλο: Control center/Peripherals/Mouse tab: General

 

Το διπλο ειναι βολικο σε περιπτωση που θες να κανεις σποραδικη επιλογη φακελλων (πατωντας ταυτοχρονα το ctrl), επισης οταν κανεις αλλαγη εικονας για ενα φακελλο ή shortcut (επιλεγεις μια εικονα και προχωρας παρακατω μηπως βρεις καποια καλυτερη), οταν επιλεγεις ενα αρχειο για να το επεξεργαστεις με shortcut πχ rename με το F2, κλπ

 

Με το απλο κλικ δηλ, η επιλογη και το περασμα του κλικ γινονται ταυτοχρονα και χανεις τα πλεονεκτηματα της απλης επιλογης.
