### 5. Notes

- Disk Navigator menus are updated automatically when directory contents change, except the first menu, that is updated through the Options dialog.
- The contents of the "Recent" section are saved in the /.kde/share/config/kpanelrc configuration file. If you want to clear this section, you can clear the `RecentFolders` and `RecentFiles` entries in this file after logging out from KDE.
- Documents and applications not accessed through the KPanel are not added to the "Recent" section. This limitation will disappear in future versions of Disk Navigator.
- Due to efficiency reasons, most files are not displayed with the same icon you would see in a file manager window. With the current version, only `.kdelnk` files have the corresponding icon displayed. Other files are displayed with two different icons to distinguish between data files and executables.
- Copying `~/.kde` and $KDEDIR: if you are using symbolic links to define filesystem entry points in the Shared/Personal sections, you must be careful when copying the KDE directory, since the `cp` command with the `-r` option follows symbolic links. Under Linux you can use the `-d` option to avoid this problem. However, you are recommended to change all symbolic links to corresponding KDE URL files. Symbolic links are stored under `$KDEDIR/share/disknav` (Shared) and `~/.kde/share/disknav` (Personal).
