Yesterday as I was tinkering with the way pics resize on the site, my FTP program was givin me issues.  This was in linux, using KFTPGrabber.  Later that evening, I went to go look at something for another site, via FTP.....created a new temporary folder on my machine to drop files in, but then decided not to bother on that machine since FTP program was acting up earlier that day, and went to play with it on the  Windows box instead.

Meanwhile....Firefox is set to automatically download files to Desktop.  Today I have been noticing that when I download files, it doesn't appear on the Desktop...however when I go into file manager and navigate to the Desktop folder, the files are there.  Weird.  Refresh actual desktop...nothing.   Create new folder on desktop by right-clicking and adding new folder....and the new folder doesn't show up on the desktop, but it does in the file manager that's navigated to the desktop folder.


Open up folder that's sitting on the actual desktop, and look at the location.  It says it's sitting in the temporary folder I created last night when I was tinkering with FTP.     Anyone know where the setting to change the folder that the desktop points to is?   And any recommendations for a better FTP app for KDE? (usually don't have an issue in gnome, but I'm running KDE on this rig)

Reboot seems to have fixed it.......I'm gonna blame it on KDE.


Still taking KDE-compatible suggestions for FTP apps.

    what did you say : whistle:

Translation: I typed "jan649" into command prompt, and it broke my 'puter.  Therefore, jan649 must be a virus.



 

Strange...  Never seen that one creep up when I was playin with KFTP....  Interesting... 

You musta pushed the throttles on that rig one click too high...

throttles been clicked at this height for months, with nothing else to indicate instability....

     hehehehe....    

gots four letters fer ya...

gftp

saw that one after searching repos.....would have initially picked that, but i thought gftp was for gnome specifically and would have installed unnecessary libraries to actually run it...

Nope..   is 'X' type app...

Just added it to my installed PCLos crud..  (KDE)

yep, noticed that after i found it earlier...was an assumption i made back when i first got things set up on this rig that it wasn't...

It's the 'G' at the start of the name....

usually
g = gnome
k = kde
x = well...  X  Duh... 

pretty much.

Don't think I've run across a Gnome running distro that doesn't have gftp preloaded..
So that doesn't help much either.. 

yup....


gftp up and loaded here now.

knew I was good for something around here 

Well he has made me ill from time to time.........

still coughing away here

This new found success hasn't given you a taste for expensive cigars has it? 

nope.  have a feeling it may be time to try a different brand o kitty litter

Ummmm ... you're not supposed to BREATHE it! 

dust

Are you sure it's the litter??   EEEeeeewwwww....

Pinky's kittae cat cut worse cheese than Mortie? 

Impressive!

dumped what was in the tray yesterday and poured the last of that bag into clean box.  yup, cloud of dust straight out the bag.  


kitty hasn't cut cheese within pinky's smelling area yet (with the exception of in the litter box), so wouldn't know.

Be warned, it ain't no bed of roses in there!
