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 &kde; 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> + +</sect3> + +</sect2> + +</sect1> + +</article> diff --git a/doc/kcontrol/filemanager/kfileman1.png b/doc/kcontrol/filemanager/kfileman1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 000000000..0505d604d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/kcontrol/filemanager/kfileman1.png diff --git a/doc/kcontrol/filemanager/kfileman2.png b/doc/kcontrol/filemanager/kfileman2.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 000000000..6c8d17d75 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/kcontrol/filemanager/kfileman2.png |
