Figure 3.2. Main Toolbar

The Krusader Main Toolbar is a standard KDE toolbar that can be dragged around the application (please unlock it first by unchecking the Lock Toolbar Positions item in the right-click menu) or configured via a Right-Click menu. You can decide whether or not you want to display it each time you start Krusader in the Konfigurator Startup page, and you can toggle its use in the current session in the Settings menu. The Main Toolbar contents can be configured from the Configure Toolbars... in the Settings menu. Since various commands and options in Krusader are context-dependent, some commands are not always available. The icon of an inappropriate or inactive action will be deactivated (grayed-out) disabling its use. Bookmarks can be placed into the Main Toolbar and the Actions Toolbar with the mouse using “drag and drop”.

By default, the Krusader Job Toolbar (Queue Manager or simply the JobMan) is located at the right part of the Main Toolbar. This toolbar allows you to view the job progress, to pause and resume the job list execution and to undo the last executed job.

UserActions and Bookmarks can be “plugged” into the Actions Toolbar. To show it, use Settings → Show Actions Toolbar . To add user actions, use Settings → Configure Toolbars... and select Actions Toolbar. You can, for example, drag the Actions Toolbar to the right side using the mouse.

Below the Main Toolbar there is a Location Toolbar for each panel. It shows the path the panel is currently pointing to. When entering archives the path will be displayed in the following format: “archive type:/folder/archive_filename/the folder inside the archive”. This format makes the paths uniform and easy to read. The Location Toolbar supports also KIO Slaves but not all of them, some can only be used with the viewer and some can not be used. The user can enter a desired path by clicking on it.

You can copy-paste a URL in the Location Toolbar or use a middle click. With the Right-Click menu you can configure the auto-complete function. An optional Clear Location Toolbar button is also available.

Quick Navigation: Ctrl point with mouse in the middle of URL of the Location Toolbar. A pop-up window shows the next URL location. Pressing Ctrl + left mouse button shows the location where the mouse was pointing to. This feature allows faster navigation in a big folder tree.

Each panel has a configurable Panel Toolbar. The complete Panel Toolbar or specific buttons can be made visible or be hidden.
