When using the KDE Plasma Desktop environment on Linux, users may encounter a frustrating date grouping feature in the Downloads folder of the Dolphin file manager. This behavior can be bothersome and unnecessary for users who prefer a more organized file display. This guide will walk you through the steps to disable the date grouping feature specifically in the Downloads folder within the Dolphin file manager on the KDE Plasma Desktop environment.
Steps to Disable Date Grouping:
-
Open the Dolphin File Manager: Launch Dolphin by clicking on its icon in the application menu or accessing it through the file manager shortcut in the panel.
-
Navigate to the Downloads Folder: Locate and open the Downloads folder within Dolphin where the date grouping issue is occurring.
-
Access the View Menu: In the Dolphin file manager, locate the "View" menu in the top menu bar. If the menu bar is not visible, you can enable it by right-clicking on any toolbar within Dolphin and selecting "Show Menubar." You may also access the same setting by navigating to the Hamburger menu, selecting More, then choosing View, and finally opting to Show in Groups.
-
Disable Date Grouping: Within the "View" menu, look for the option titled "Show in Groups." Uncheck or disable this option to turn off the date grouping feature in the Downloads folder.
-
Verify Changes: After disabling the date grouping feature, check the Downloads folder to ensure that the files are now displayed without being grouped by date.
By following these steps, you can successfully disable the date grouping feature in the Downloads folder within the Dolphin file manager on the KDE Plasma Desktop environment. This customization allows you to have a more organized and efficient file display experience tailored to your preferences.
