It finally installed (version 3) after changing two lines in the .cpp files(actions.cpp & details.cpp). It runs, sorta now. None of the links on the left, navigation panel activate anything like Home, Settings, Documents, etc., but Properties works when a file is highlighted. Am I missing a configuration option somewhere that allows these to work correctly? Running from a terminal doesn't show any errors except for some ASSERT warnings (ASSERT: "info.isValid()" in konq_infolistviewitem.cc (123) ).
cheers,

apparently you can not have kontexbar and ksidebar installed at the same time. =c)
What I did was mv ~/.sidebar ~/.sidebar.bak to remove the kontexbar from loading.

i solved this problem with replacing:
KFileMetaInfo( (KURL &)mUrl );
by:
KFileMetaInfo( ((KURL &)mUrl).path() );

Now i get the next error :

actions.cpp: In member function `void Actions::clicked(s_action&)':
actions.cpp:201: no method `KonqOperations::newDir'
make[2]: *** [actions.lo] Error 1

The line 201 in actions.cpp is the next :

KonqOperations::newDir( (QWidget *)0, mUrl);

Hi,

i would prefer to see the "Details" of the current selected file, not the details of the directory i'm in.

some extra detail-features would be cool. for example a thumbnailpreview, if the selected file is an image.

You're right.. and I'm working on it.. but it's not so simple since you need to connect to a konqueror signal.. the konqsidebar interface only advise you when the url changes..

How about making the sidebar so that it can be hidden. This could work similar to how kicker has a button to hide it. I like to have as much viewable area as possible in my browser, but when I need a sidebar it would be nice to have one button hide, unhide.

You can already do it clicking on the konqsidebar toolbar, if you click on the ksidebar tab when ksidebar is open, it will be hidden..

I meant like an animated type hiding, maybe like some kind of button to "roll up" the sidebar into the window border.

you can do this in the configurationmenu of your sidebar.

change the 228th line at ksidebar-0.2/src/details.cpp
from
KFileMetaInfo *metainfo = new KFileMetaInfo( url );
to
KFileMetaInfo *metainfo = new KFileMetaInfo( (QString&) url );

this will fix the compilation problem. :)
the patch goes like this:

It's strange, because i didn't get any compiler warning about these casting issues...
However, the casting should be done to (KURL &) to access metainfo even on network protocols.

Is there any way to change the links an the design? Because some links don't work on my sys and I also don't like the design!

You can modify view.cpp, all the links are added there... Should not be too difficult

You can change the design & customize to your liking very easily.
