I am using FC2 with KDE(the version which came with the FC2 release).
I just wanted to know how do I preview audio and video files in KDE? I mean, basically, if I mouse over a *.wav file, it automatically plays its preview. How to make it work for MP3(as that is the most prominent format).
Also, if there is a way to allow Video preview(with MPLAYER?)
Another matter, basically, I use XMMS for audio and MPLAYER for video, so in doing this preview thing, I just dont want to disturb the settings(like double clicking video plays it in mplayer and double clicking audio queues it in XMMS), so please tell me a workaround for that too.
Hmmmm......... well I am waiting for KDE 3.3 to release Fedora RPM.
I just dont wanna risk it with compiling the source.
Anyway, is there no shortcut ? And I never tried a KDE upgrade, is it same like any other package/application? Also, will it retain the settings of current KDE?
I mean, if I mix up RPM with source installs then basically its difficult to remove and upgrade.
I mean its fine to remove a small application software or even kernel for that matter installed directly from source, but KDE will kind of spread in a lot of directories, and then I wont have an option to upgrade, remove, rollback, etc.
Noone is contributing to the KDE mirrors by adding a RPM for Fedora.
Btw, is there a way to convert the source to an RPM, so that I can use that to install, and maybe remove later....??
