KDE - Turn off previews in open dialog
 

Whenever I go to any "Open file" dialog in a KDE program, there is a section of the dialog where I can preview the file. How can I disable it?

click on the wrench at the top near the address line. click on Show Previews

Thanks :) But that only takes it off for that session. If I close the program and run it again, the panel is back. Is there an option in the control center or somewhere that I can check to make this go away permanently?

Np. after you set that did you save the setting?

That works for me. Get the open file dialog make your adjustments then open a file. Then click on Settings then Save Settings

There's also a save settings on log-off option. I just use that instead of saving several times during a session when I make changes.
