&Pamela.Roberts;2003-11-053.2Using BookmarksAlthough you can use &konqueror;'s bookmarks to record the locations of
your own files and folders, they are most useful when you are surfing the
Web, letting you build up a list of useful sites.To open the Bookmarks menu you may either
left click on the
Bookmarks menu or use the &Alt;B shortcut. Once
the list is visible, you can navigate through it with the arrow keys or with
your mouse, then press &Enter; or
left click to visit the selected location.To add a new item to the list use Bookmarks
Add Bookmark or
&Ctrl;B or
right click on a clear space in the web page or
folder view and select Bookmark this Location from
the pop up menu.The Bookmarks list can contain subfolders containing
other bookmarks, you can create these with Bookmarks
New Bookmark Folder... .
To add a bookmark into a subfolder rather than into the main Bookmark list,
select the folder from within the Bookmarks list and use
the Add Bookmark item in that folder.You can also access your bookmarks from the
Navigation Panel.The Bookmark EditorThe BookmarksEdit
Bookmarks option opens the Bookmark
Editor.This shows a tree view of your bookmarks and bookmark subfolders.
As is usual for tree views in &kde;, subfolders are shown with a small square
at the left of the folder name; if the square contains a +
sign left clicking on it will expand the view to
show the contents of that subfolder and the + sign will
change to -, left clicking on the
- sign will collapse the subfolder view.To select an item in the list you can left
click on it, or you can navigate through the list by using the
Up arrow and Down arrow keys to move around,
Right arrow to expand a subfolder and
Left arrow to collapse it.You can move an item to a different place in the list by using the
normal Drag and Drop or Cut and
Paste methods. The order in which the items appear in
the Bookmark Editor is the order they will appear in the
Bookmarks drop down list. The Insert
Insert Separator option can
be used to insert separating lines into the list wherever you wish.A new subfolder can be created at the selected point in the list by
using the Create New Folder... option in the
Insert menu or from the drop down menu you get when you
right click on an item in the main part of the
window, or with &Ctrl;NTo change the name of a bookmark or folder select it then press
F2 or choose the Rename item from
the Edit menu or the pop up menu that appears when you
right click on the item. Similarly, you can edit
the &URL; by pressing F3 or choosing the
Change URL menu item.The Bookmark Editor lets you import bookmarks from
a range of other browsers into &konqueror;'s bookmark list, putting them into
a new folder or replacing all current bookmarks. To do this select
Import from the File menu. The
FileExport option can be used to export &konqueror;'s bookmarks to a
&Netscape; or Mozilla browser.If you often use the &Netscape; browser as well as &konqueror;, then
rather than importing your &Netscape; bookmarks into &konqueror; it is
better to select the Show Netscape Bookmarks in Konqueror
Windows item in the Settings menu. If you
do this any updates to &Netscape;'s bookmarks are automatically seen by
&konqueror;.To select which bookmark subfolder is used to hold the Bookmark
Toolbar items select the subfolder then choose Set as Toolbar
Folder from the Edit menu.If you are tidying up your bookmarks and have forgotten what a
particular web page is, you can easily open it from within the
Bookmark Editor by right clicking
on the item and selecting Open in Konqueror from
the pop up menu. If you just want to check that the &URL; is still valid
select Check Status instead.Don't forget to save your changes with FileSave or
&Ctrl;S before you leave
the Bookmark Editor.
