What happend to the file-size view in Konqueror?

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi,

KDE-3.5's Konqueror supported displaying folders and files using
rectangles as large as the size of the file or folder.
This was great to get rid of unused, large files when cleaning up the
hard-drive.

What happend to that feature in KDE4? I haven't found it in KDE4's konqueror.
Is there a plugin to install that functionality again?

Thank you in advance, Clemens

[Christos Lazaridis]

Hi Clemens, 

Your instinct is correct. You need to install the konq-plugins package ;)

cheers,
  Christos.

I didn't realise that it had been ported to KDE 4.  I have the plugins 
package, but I still can't see it (and like Clemens, I thought it a very 
useful tool, so I'd like to see it again).  How do you get it to display?

After installing the plugins package, I was able to enable it with
View-Menu->"View Mode"->"File Size View"

Strange that it's missing, then on konq-plugins-4.3.1-1.fc11.i586.  Perhaps a

package somewhere is a work-in-progress?  In View > View Mode I have only

KHTML
Embedded Advanced Text Editor
Text Documents
KJotsPart

Not the list I'd expect to see!

Well.. You should first change the "view profile" to "file
management".
