Chapter 8. Saving Settings & Profiles

Pamela Roberts

Revision 3.2 (2003-11-06)

General Settings

When you close down Konqueror your current View menu settings (such as the View Mode, Use index.html and Show Hidden Files items) are not automatically saved as the default options; however, you can have Konqueror remember these settings by selecting Settings->Save View Profile "Web Browsing"... and the current setting will become the default option to be used the next time Konqueror is started.

But you can also specify different View menu settings for an individual folder. To do this check the View Properties Saved in Folder box in the Settings menu, change the View settings to whatever you want then uncheck the View Properties saved in Folder box. Doing this creates a .directory file in that folder to hold the folder View settings. Use the Settings->Remove Folder Properties option to remove the folder specific settings (or just delete the .directory file).

Note

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 Icon View and Preview->Show Previews from the View menu) when you open it, while not displaying images as thumbnails in other folders.
