I now have Suse 11, whereas before I had Suse 10.2. With the old system, when I displayed a window of a directory containing jpg pictures, they all appeared as thumbnails, whose size I could adjust to taste. With the new Suse 11, I only get icons showing that these are jpgs, but not the thumbnails. I assume I can choose these, but I can't see any way to do it in the menu at the top. Where do I go to set for the thumbnail option? -- Dieter Britz

You haven't given enough information for anyone who's not using the same system as you to be able to help you. For a start - which window manager (gnome? kde? or what?) You also haven't said what you've done to try and fix the problem yourself. For a start, have you looked at the "View" menu for an option on how to display the file icons? -- http://NovemberEchoRomeoDelta.com

I get Konqueror when I click on directories. Yes, I have checked under View, not a sausage. And I have also tried going into Edit Preferences, nothing doing there. Ar well thanks anyway. -- Dieter Britz

Of course that's what I looked for for a start, but it isn't there. Thanks anyway. -- Dieter Britz
