Too bad you can’t just drag and drop from the desktop to the folders.

But the Desktop is different now in KDE4

Most of us a keeping up to date with the Factory repo and so are now on 4.1.2

I don’t use the feature myself, but the folder view option could possibly do what you are suggesting.

If you have not already upgraded kde4, why not do so. I would recommend installing kde3 though if you haven’t already done so, it’s still more or less an essential fall back.

To add kde3 use Yast software management - filter by patterns and select kde3base and kde3desktop
you can then add the kde3 buld service repo
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.0
then in software management - filter by repo and select the new kde3 and update all in this list if newer ver avail.

kde4 factory repo’s:

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.0_KDE4_Factory_Desktop

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Extra-Apps/openSUSE_11.0

Index of /repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0

If you have added any old kde4.0 repo’s you need to disable them

You can drag and drop files from the desktop (folder view) to folders or between folders
