<para>As &Netscape;'s <application>Navigator</application> has been a
|
||
|
|
web browsing standard for many years, so-called &Netscape; plugins have
|
||
|
|
appeared that allow rich web content. Using those plugins, web sites
|
||
|
|
can contain <acronym>PDF</acronym> files, flash animations, video, &etc;
|
||
|
|
With &konqueror;, you can still use these plugins to take advantage of
|
||
|
|
rich web content.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<note><para>&Netscape; plugins should not be confused with &konqueror;
|
||
|
|
plugins. The latter ones specifically extend &konqueror;'s
|
||
|
|
functionality; they are normally not used to display rich web
|
||
|
|
content.</para></note>

|
|
|

|
|
<para>&konqueror; has to know where your &Netscape; plugins are
|
||
|
|
installed. This can be in several places, &ie; you might have
|
||
|
|
system-wide plugins in <filename
|
||
|
|
class="directory">/opt/netscape/plugins</filename> and your personal
|
||
|
|
plugins in <filename
|
||
|
|
class="directory">$<envar>HOME</envar>/.netscape/plugins</filename>.
|
||
|
|
However, &konqueror; will not automatically use the installed plugins:
|
||
|
|
it first has to scan a list of folders. You can initiate the scan
|
||
|
|
by clicking <guibutton>Scan for new plugins</guibutton>. Alternatively,
|
||

|
you can enable <guilabel>Scan for new plugins at &tde; startup</guilabel>
|
||
|
|
so &konqueror; will scan the appropriate folders every time &tde;
|
||
|
15 years ago
|
starts up, to see whether new plugins have been installed.</para>

<note><para>Enabling <guilabel>Scan for new plugins at &tde;

|
startup</guilabel> can considerably slow down the startup procedure,
|
||
|
|
and is known to give difficulty on certain installations. Turn this
|
||
|
|
option off if you experience problems.</para></note>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>To find plugins, &konqueror; will look in the folders
|
||
|
|
specified in the <guilabel>Scan Folders</guilabel> frame. When you
|
||
|
|
use this control module for the first time, this list will already be
|
||
|
|
filled with reasonable paths that should work on most operating systems.
|
||
|
|
If you need to provide a new path, click the <guibutton>New</guibutton>
|
||
|
|
button; then you can either enter the new path in the text edit box to
|
||
|
|
the left, or choose a folder using the file dialog by clicking the
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>New...</guibutton> button. As scanning the folders can take
|
||
|
|
a little time, you might want to remove folders from the list where
|
||
|
|
you know that no plugins are installed: do this by selecting a folder
|
||
|
|
and clicking <guibutton>Remove</guibutton>. Using the
|
||
|
|
<guibutton>Up</guibutton> and <guibutton>Down</guibutton> buttons you
|
||
|
|
can change the order in which folders will be scanned by moving the
|
||
|
|
selected folder up or down.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>As usual, click <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to save your changes
|
||
|
|
permanently.</para>

<para>In this tab, you can see a list of the &Netscape; plugins found by
|
||
|
|
&konqueror;, displayed as a tree. Double click on a plugin to fold it
|
||
|
|
out and you'll see that the different mime types this plugin can handle
|
||
|
|
will be displayed as branches. Fold out a mime type to see its
|
||
|
|
info.</para>

<para>This tab is mostly for informational purposes. The only
|
||
|
|
configurable option is <guilabel>Use artsdsp to pipe plugin sound
|
||
|
|
through aRts</guilabel>, which is enabled by default. Disable this if
|
||
|
|
you wish plugins to use their own method for sounds, and you have
|
||
|
|
configured &arts; in such a way that third-party applications can do
|
||
|
|
so (for example, by having it exit when idle, or by having it use a
|
||
|
|
custom sound device on modern soundcards which allow this.)</para>
