View Profiles

Konqueror can save a whole set of options as a “View Profile”. Some view profiles are part of the standard Konqueror installation, such as Web Browsing and File Management, but you can add your own, too.

To modify a view profile (say, the Web Browsing profile), load the profile with Settings->Load View Profile->Web Browsing, and change the Konqueror settings to whatever you want. Now select Settings->Save View Profile "Web Browsing".... 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 Save URLs in profile, the current URL will be loaded when you load that view profile. This functions in a similar way to the “Home Page” in many web browsers. If you want Konqueror to start up with an empty window enter about:blank into the location bar before saving the profile.

Note

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 K menu onto the desktop and selecting Copy Here. Then right click on the new icon, select Properties... and change Program Name in the Execute tab page to kfmclient openProfile MyNewProfile, MyNewProfile being what you called the new profile. Then in the General tab page change the name to something like MyNewProfile and pick a more suitable icon.
