There you go, so the line you want to add to the Create Launcher dialog box is:

Code: Select all

thunar /media/Zalohsa II/Downlload

Although the space between Zalohsa and II may give you some problems

The Salix community is much, much more tolerant of beginners (like me) than most. But remember, those who help us here are giving their time for free. So instead of posting
it might go down better if you researched the problem yourself first, and explained briefly what you tried and didn't work. Perhaps, for that problem you needed to know how the package manager works (Gslapt under System in the main menu, if you are not using the console), though it's possible that particular software might not be available for Salix. Or if it's not that important (I use Transmission, and there are probably better alternatives, but still, I'm a satisfied non-paying customer ) , just leave it. Really, I think Linux best suits people who are curious about how things on their computer work, because otherwise it's probably not worth the time you will need to invest. For a beginner like me, that's years, but even at this stage I like the feeling of not just being a passive and patronised victim of Microsoft.

You are right it gives.

And you're asking too many things at the same time, some of the things you're asking may go unanswered because of that.

If you don't like certain applications you can replace them with the ones you like. You're mentioning irfanview and utorrent as open source applications, which they are definitely not. You could try others like viewnior for an image viewer, which is the default for salix 13.1 anyway, or mirage, gthumb, comix...
You could also try deluge, flush, frostwire, qbittorrent ... as alternative bittorrent clients if you're not satisfied with transmission (altough I don't see why).

Installing any KDE application, including ktorrent, will install a full KDE environment with it. That's because of the way KDE is packaged in slackware. You can't do anything about it.
