Konqueror Configuration

Hi

I have just upgraded to the latest version of Konqueror 3.1.1 but have a couple of problems:
1. Where do you set the home URL? It was in configuration in the previous version?
2. When I try to download a file (eg a .gz ) the file does not download correctly and opens the archieve in the browser instead of downloading.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi

1. Where do you set the home URL? It was in configuration in the previous version?

Go to the web page you want to save and then select
(from the menu bar)
Settings -> "Save View Profile Webbrowser"
There you can save it if you check the
checkbox "save URLs in profile".

It's even possible to store several tabs with URLs that way,
i.e. more than one page.

Oops, or did you mean the URL that's called
if one presses the home icon in the menu bar?
Dunno about that, sorry.

You can change the behaviour
in the Control Centre (kcontrol) under
KDE components
-> file associations
-> application/x-tgz and/or application/x-gzip
-> "embedding".
Switch it to "external viewer"
Then konqi will ask you whether you want to
open it with the configured viewer or if you want to
save it to disk.

Well this is the problem

Under the previous versions of Kde I could set the home url and the application associations, but now they are not there. Ironically the system still has a record of the home URL. I just cannot change it.

I do not have either the page to set the URL or to change the file association. I am wondering whether I have missed a componet when I upgrded or do I have a configuration setting wrong somewhere?

I cannot believe these were in the previos versions and are not now :?

Any help would be very welcome

Hmmm.
Do you have the item "KDE Components" in kcontrol?
In my version (KDE 3.1.2) there is a sub item "File Associations".
If you don't then you're really missing something.

Don't know about the home URL though...

I have a file
$KDEDIR/share/applnk/Settings/Components/filetypes.desktop
That is the definition of the kcontrol entry.
No idea why you don't have it.
It's from kdebase so I don't think you forgot the package completely
or you would be missing a lot of other stuff, too.
What's your distro? Redhat for example seems to be doing
strange things to KDE from what I hear.

- You can try to call the menu directly:
Type
kcmshell filetypes
on the command line.

- Or you can try the search facility in kcontrol
(the middle tab of the left pane). Type "file assocations"

- Or you can try to search a file called filetypes.desktop
Maybe it's moved somewhere else.
Try "locate filetypes.desktop"
