Installation
No special installation is needed. It is advisable though, to unpack
the archive to your Home folder so as the update mechanism of B-Folders
can work correctly. Double-click the b-folders file in the B-Folders
5 folder to run the application. Select Tools > Create
Launcher Icon.
Note on Kubuntu and KDE
If B-Folders crashes, navigate to System Settings ->
Application appearance -> GTK and select a theme that is
not oxygen-gtk for GTK2 and restart the computer.
Updates
The B-Folders application has a built-in mechanism that will
automatically check
for updates and ask you to install them when available.
