<title>General Settings</title>
|
|
<para>When you close down &konqueror; your current <guimenu>View</guimenu>
|
|
menu settings (such as the <guimenuitem>View Mode</guimenuitem>,
|
|
<guimenuitem>Use index.html</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Show Hidden Files
|
|
</guimenuitem> items) are not automatically saved as the default
|
|
options; however, you can have &konqueror; remember these settings by
|
|
selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save View
|
|
Profile "Web Browsing"...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and the current
|
|
setting will become the default option to be used the next time
|
|
&konqueror; is started.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>But you can also specify different <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu settings
|
|
for an individual folder. To do this check the <guimenuitem>View Properties
|
|
Saved in Folder</guimenuitem> box in the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu,
|
|
change the <guimenu>View</guimenu> settings to whatever you want then uncheck
|
|
the
|
|
<guimenuitem>View Properties saved in Folder</guimenuitem> box. Doing this
|
|
creates a <filename>.directory</filename> file in that folder to hold the
|
|
folder <guimenu>View</guimenu> settings. Use the <menuchoice><guimenu>
|
|
Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Remove Folder Properties</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice> option to remove the folder specific
|
|
settings (or just delete the <filename>.directory</filename> file).</para>
|
|
<note><para>One nice use of this feature is if you have a folder full of
|
|
pictures. You can set that particular folder to display thumbnails of the
|
|
pictures (by choosing <guimenuitem>Icon View</guimenuitem> and <menuchoice>
|
|
<guisubmenu>Preview</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Show Previews</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice> from the <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu) when you open it, while
|
|
not displaying images as thumbnails in other folders.</para></note>

<title>View Profiles</title>
|
|
<para>&konqueror; can save a whole set of options as a <quote>View
|
|
Profile</quote>. Some view profiles are part of the standard &konqueror;
|
|
installation, such as <property>Web Browsing</property> and <property>File
|
|
Management</property>, but you can add your own, too.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To modify a view profile (say, the <property>Web Browsing</property>
|
|
profile), load the profile with
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Load View
|
|
Profile</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Web Browsing</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>, and
|
|
change the &konqueror; settings to whatever you want. Now select
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save View Profile "Web
|
|
Browsing"...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. In the dialog which appears, you can
|
|
change the name of the profile, which will create a new profile with that name,
|
|
or you can leave the name as it is to modify the current profile. If you select
|
|
<guilabel>Save URLs in profile</guilabel>, the current &URL; will be loaded
|
|
when you load that view profile. This functions in a similar way to the
|
|
<quote>Home Page</quote> in many web browsers. If you want &konqueror; to start
|
|
up with an empty window enter <userinput>about:blank</userinput> into the
|
|
location bar before saving the profile.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>You can create a desktop icon to start &konqueror; with your new
|
|
profile. First create a desktop icon by dragging the &konqueror; icon from the
|
|
<guimenu>TDE</guimenu> menu onto the desktop and selecting <guimenuitem>Copy
|
|
Here</guimenuitem>. Then <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the new
|
|
icon, select
|
|
<guimenuitem>Properties...</guimenuitem> and change <guilabel>Program
|
|
Name</guilabel> in the <guilabel>Execute</guilabel> tab page to
|
|
<userinput><command>kfmclient</command> <option>openProfile
|
|
<replaceable>MyNewProfile</replaceable></option></userinput>,
|
|
<replaceable>MyNewProfile</replaceable> being what you called the new
|
|
profile. Then in the <guilabel>General</guilabel> tab page change the name to
|
|
something like <filename>MyNewProfile</filename> and pick a more
|
|
suitable icon.</para></note>
