The active panel is 0274 the one that will accept your mouse and keyboard input. If you 0275 choose a command from the 0276 <guilabel>Menu-Bar</guilabel> or 0277 <guilabel>Toolbar</guilabel> the command will act upon the 0278 selected files/folders in the active panel. You can switch 0279 between panels using the 	 key or by clicking on 0280 the 0281 <guilabel>Information or Totals labels</guilabel>, or by 0282 selecting any file in a panel with the mouse. As always, 0283 default startup settings can be modified with the 0284 <link linkend="konfigurator">Konfigurator Startup page</link>, and you control the current 0285 session with the <link linkend="settings-menu">Settings menu</link>.</para> 0286 <figure id="screenshot-listpanel" float="1"> 0287 <title>List Panel</title> 0288 <mediaobject> 0289 <imageobject> 0290 <imagedata fileref="listpanel.png"></imagedata> 0291 </imageobject> 0292 <textobject> 0293 <phrase>List Panel</phrase> 0294 </textobject> 0295 </mediaobject> 0296 </figure> 0297 <sect2 id="list_panel"> 0298 <title>List Panel</title> 0299 <indexterm> 0300 <primary>Panel</primary> 0301 <secondary>List Panel</secondary> 0302 </indexterm> 0303 <para>This is the default panel and the one you will probably 0304 use most of the time. This panel shows the contents of one 0305 folder which can be local (part of your mounted file 0306 systems, either a native file or the files inside an archive) 0307 or remote files (accessed via &FTP;, &NFS; or Samba). 0308 There are two modes: <link linkend="view-menu">Detailed View</link> that shows the file names, 0309 file size, creation date and time and their attributes. 0310 And <link linkend="view-menu">Brief View</link> that shows only the file names, 0311 the number of brief columns can be changed, by right clicking on the <guilabel>Name</guilabel> header. 0312 File copy/paste/cut via clipboard between 0313 &konqueror; and &krusader; 0314 <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl; 0315 <keycap>C</keycap></keycombo>, 0316 <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl; 0317 <keycap>V</keycap></keycombo>, 0318 <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl; 0319 <keycap>X</keycap></keycombo> is supported. 0320 <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;&Ctrl; 0321 <keycap>R</keycap></keycombo> toggles the 0322 <guilabel>List Panel</guilabel> between horizontal and 0323 vertical mode.</para> 0324 <para>The following items are available:</para> 0325 <itemizedlist> 0326 <listitem> 0327 <para> 0328 <emphasis> 0329 <guilabel>Information Label</guilabel> 0330 </emphasis>: shows how much free space is physically 0331 available on the file system, the file system capacity 0332 and where the filesystem is mounted. If the information is not 0333 available (most often in the case of remote file system) 0334 a message will be displayed with the reason for 0335 unavailability instead of the information.</para> 0336 <para id="media_button">The 0337 <guibutton>Media button</guibutton> on the left of the 0338 <guilabel>Information Label</guilabel> displays a list of 0339 all available media, where you can select the desired 0340 media (HDD partition, &DVD;, &USB; stick, &etc;). 0341 Pressing <keycombo>&Ctrl;<keycap>Return</keycap></keycombo> when the 0342 <guibutton>Media menu</guibutton> 0343 is opened mounts the highlighted media when it is unmounted, 0344 and unmounts it when it is mounted. 0345 The context menu of a medium gives several options like 0346 <guilabel>Mount</guilabel>, 0347 <guilabel>Open in a new tab</guilabel>, &etc; 0348 The <guibutton>Media menu</guibutton> is <link linkend="konfig-panel-mediamenu"> 0349 configurable</link>.</para> 0350 </listitem> 0351 <listitem> 0352 <para> 0353 <emphasis> 0354 <guilabel>Column Headers</guilabel> 0355 </emphasis>: here you can change the sort order of the 0356 files and folders as desired.

To reverse the sort 0361 order, click a second time on the Column Header. An arrow 0362 will appear on the right of the Column Header text, 0363 showing the sort direction (Up arrow = A to Z sorting, 0364 Down arrow = Z to A sorting).
