True but I rarely use that panel, pane or whatever it is called.  Once I
open /home and go a couple layers, the list gets VERY long.  It's so
long that I tend to use the mouse pointer and the scroll bar to move.  A
mouse wheel scroll would take a long time.

You can hold the shift key while turning the wheel, this will cause it to 
scroll by page, not by three lines at a time. That’s a very nifty feature 
since at least KDE 3 (that was when I started my “Linux career”).

Never heard of that.  May play with that.  I looked in one directory, can't mention the name exactly, I have over 600 directories.  It takes a while to scroll through that.  That feature sounds nifty.  Faster at least.  I went and tried it.  Yep, that is a LOT faster.  O_O   


It seems the top directory in the Folders side panel is dynamically adjusted 
when you decent through its subdirectories.  Have you played with:

Settings > Configure Dolphin > Startup > Show on startup

to see if you can set / in there?  I don't know if this might affect it 
permanently, rather than on startup, but its worth trying.

Alternatively, is the dolphin window and size of fonts/icons as large in this 
desktop as it was in your old desktop?


I tried that too.  It still does the /home/dale thing when I go into my
home directory.  There has to be a setting somewhere since it works on
my old rig.  I just can't find it.  I may boot the old rig and compare. 
Maybe when I enable/disable something some new settings show up somewhere. 

First I wanted to write that I don’t really believe there is an option for 
this. So you could simply go to home (with Alt+Home) and one level up with 
Alt+Cursor, so the folder panel goes back to root mode.

And then I had one more look and simply clicked around a bit. I’ve never 
really used the folder panel; I usually stick to the Places panel. I noticed 
a suspicios menu item … and Heureka! Just right-click any folder in the 
panel and uncheck “Limit to home directory”.

Well choke me until I look like a Smurf.  ROFLMBO  That worked.  As soon as I clicked that, it went to the / directory.  It seems to stick there.  It actually changed it for every instance I have running too.  It seems that Dolphin wants to run as one instance instead of multiple.  I'm not sure about that yet tho.  I tend to have at least four instances of Dolphin open at the same time.  Sometimes more if I'm downloaded trail camera pics or something.  


If only.  I'd have to connect everything back up to the old rig so I can
boot.  Right now, nothing plugged into it.  I need to do some things on
it tho.  Drag out the old keyboard, spare mouse and various other
things.  Hmmmm, where am I going to put a monitor tho?????

You could try headless with SSH, if it’s just moving files around that needs 
to be done.

Yea, still got to hook up a lot of stuff for that too.  Plus, it has been running 24/7 for so long, it may be upset with me and not boot for some reason.   It could feel neglected and unneeded.  ;-)  



        

          

            

              
Anyone have a idea how to make Dolphin lock the panel at / and it not
switch to /home/dale view??  I'd think locking is enough but maybe the
lock setting isn't working and it is a bug.


            

          

        

        
The “lock setting” is for locking the sidebar layout, not its content.



      

    

    

    I figured it was something other than what I was trying to do.  :/ 

    

    

      

        

          

            

              
P. S.  Liking the new rig.  Sometimes my main monitor blinks off and
back on again.  I can't figure out why yet but I'm working on it. 
Swapped cables so far.  Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.  :-) 


            

            
Probably some power Energy Star® saving feature on the monitor?  :-/


          

          
Well, it does it when I'm actually doing things like typing a email or
something.  Plus, most energy saving stuff is disabled.  It has to stay
on so I can watch TV anyway.


        

        
Media players usually inhibit the suspend signal to the monitor anyways.

    True.  Sometimes tho, a roach creeps in and it cuts off after a

    gone for a while, it powers off then after like 10 minutes or

    lock screen, it has a different setting.  I'm glad it turns off so
    never went looking for it anyway.
