File name in Konqueror

satimis · 12-18-2003, 11:51 AM

Hi all folks,

On 'home/konqueror' all files appear as
xxx~.doc
xxx~.txt
etc.

looking similar to M$-files in DOS environment. I have been searching
around on 'Konqueror -> view' and could not discover a solution.

Kindly advise how to fix it making all files appearing in their full
name.

Thanks in advance.

first things first, the files are on a linux filesystem?
konqueror help file does or does not contain a section on long filenames?
were the files created on a linux file system, or transferred from a dos partition?

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Those files are created in Linux OS. They display normally in Konqueror of other Linux distro, RH9, RH8.0 and Gentoo 1.4. Only in Konqueor of Debian 3.0 they display in short form looking like Win files in DOS environment. The said Debian box was just installed about 3-4 days ago, not yet setup properly.
