Got the patch applied, still opens in a new tab. Thought maybe I needed |
175 |
to log out and back in again so when I got to a spot where I could, I |
176 |
did so. Clicked on a folder on my desktop, new tab in a already running |
177 |
instance of Dolphin. Can I wrap my hands around a devs neck and squeeze |
178 |
yet? Pretty please? LOL |
179 |
|
180 |
I did check, the patch did apply. At first I forgot to set the |
181 |
permissions to portage:portage but emerge was so kind to remind me, by |
182 |
puking on my keyboard. ;-) After that, it emerged without error. |
183 |
|
184 |
I'm considering either going back to a older version or changing file |
185 |
managers. This is ridiculous. Why they couldn't make this change not |
186 |
the default I'll never know. Make the change, set it as a option, |
187 |
announce it for those who want to use it and let it work like it was. |
188 |
It's not like the previous way was broken or anything. Jeez. |
189 |
|
190 |
Thanks for trying. I'm open to ideas but I still want my hands on that |
191 |
neck. ;-) |
