Hi! The problem with the dot files is my fault. Sorry for that. The patch for it, is very simple: Index: kfmman.cpp =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/kdebase/kfm/kfmman.cpp,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -r1.5 kfmman.cpp 811c811 < if ( sfn[1] == '.' && !view->getGUI()->isShowDot() && sfn != ".." ) --- > if ( sfn[0] == '.' && !view->getGUI()->isShowDot() && sfn != ".." ) Torben: I wouldn't touch the kfm code within the CVS until you allow me to. Greets, Stephan
