Gewone taken

Als gewone taken onwennig zijn

Als de Plasma werkomgeving nieuw voor u is zullen waarschijnlijk veel alledaagse taken onwennig aanvoelen. Sommige dingen zijn totaal nieuwe concepten, andere dingen zijn gewoon net iets anders dan u verwacht. Er zijn veel screencasts over hoe u Plasma-taken kunt uitvoeren op deze How-To pagina.

Hoe kan ik extra KDE-software installeren?

Het installeren van software op uw computer (het maakt niet uit of die KDE SC of GNOME gebruikt) hangt vooral af van het softwarebeheersysteem van uw distributie. Neem contact op met de leverancier van uw distributie voor meer informatie.

Hoe installeer ik drivers voor wifi / videokaarten / andere hardware?

Drivers voor netwerk- of videokaarten installeren is iets wat meestal verzorgd wordt door distributies. Neem contact op met uw distributie voor meer informatie hierover.

Bestandsbeheer 2.0

Dolphin is uw nieuwe bestandsbeheerder, maar het uiterlijk en gebruik ervan is erg anders dan bij oude bestandsbeheerders. Leer hoe u voorbeeldweergaven kunt bekijken, geef uzelf snelle toegang tot de mappen die u het meest gebruikt en kies hoeveel informatie u over uw bestanden wil zien. Dit alles en meer vindt u in deze bestandsbeheer tutorial

Renaming Multiple Files

There are times when you need to rename a large number of files or folders at the same time. This is often referred to as "batch renaming," and can be accomplished a number of ways in KDE.

Met Dolphin

Dolphin heeft een mogelijkheid om meerdere bestanden te hernoemen door ze te nummeren, hoewel deze functionaliteit momenteel beperkt is en alleen nuttig is in bepaalde situaties. Een nuttige toepassing zou het hernoemen van een reeks foto's kunnen zijn. Hier staat hoe dat moet

Met KRename

KRename has the ability to rename large numbers of files based on many different criteria, including search and replace, file properties, mp3 & ogg metadata, and many others.

KRename can be found in the Kickoff menu in the Utilities section. It may be called "Bulk Rename". If you don't see it there, it's likely not installed, and you'll need to install it.

Using Removable Drives

Mounting the drive

Unlike some other operating systems you might be familiar with, Plasma as shipped by most distros doesn't automatically mount removable drives when they're plugged in. What does "Mounting" a drive mean? Think of it as opening a book for reading. Similarly, umounting is like closing the book.

There are two main ways of accessing a drive that was just plugged in:

• Using the Device Notifier - normally the Device Notifier will pop up a little window telling you that a new drive was connected. Click on the Mount and Open button that appears beside its name. This mounts the drive and opens Dolphin showing its contents.
• Mounting in Dolphin - if you already have Dolphin open you will see the new device appear in the Places panel. Click on it and it will be mounted and show its contents.
• If you prefer for drives to be automatically mounted, you can now do this by going to System Settings -> Hardware Section -> Removable Storage -> Device Auto-Mount and check the checkboxes for On login and On attach for the list item named "All known devices".

Tip

Keeping the "Automatically mount removable media that have never been manually mounted before" option unchecked may be a more secure option than mounting all removable media

If you choose to automount, remember that you still need to umount drives before physically unplugging them. This is the equivalent of "safely remove" in Windows or "Eject" in macOS. In Device Notifier and Dolphin's Places panel, you will see a button with the icon ; click this to unmount the drive. Always wait a few seconds after doing this to make sure that any pending move or copy operations have completed! Once the device disappears from the Device Notifier or Dolphin, you can safely unplug it.

Information

Audio disks can be played without mounting. Use your favorite disk-playing application

Opening an empty CD tray

Usually you use a hardware button to do this, but if that is not possible you can create a link to a script to do it for you. You will find details of this on this talk page
