<question>
<para>How can I change the appearance of a folder in
&konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Right-click the folder, select <guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>,
click on the large icon in the dialog which appears, and choose another
icon.</para> <para>To change the icon displayed for entries in the
<guimenu>TDE Menu</guimenu>, use the <application>Menu Editor</application>,

<question>
<para>How can I do non-anonymous &FTP; transfers with &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Normally, if you enter a &URL; like
<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>,
&konqueror; will attempt an anonymous login to the &FTP; server. If you
want to login as a particular user, enter a &URL; like
<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>username@ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>
instead. &konqueror; will ask for your password and connect to the
server.</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question>
<para>How do I specify the startup folder for &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>With the desktop Home icon, using the &RMB;, select the icon and choose
<guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>. Select the
<guilabel>URL</guilabel> tab. Type <filename class="directory">/whereever/you/want</filename>
with the folder you would like &konqueror; to start in.</para>
<para>From within &konqueror; the process is similar. Ensure the Navigation Panel is active
(press <keycap>F9</keycap>). From the Navigation Panel tabs, select the Home icon.
In the Navigation Panel directory, use the &RMB; to select the top level <filename class="directory">Home Folder</filename> and select <guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>.</para>

<question>
<para>Where did the delete entry from my right-click context menu go?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The Delete context menu entry that bypasses the
Trash can is not displayed by default. To enable that menu option, go to
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
&konqueror;</guimenuitem></menuchoice > and select
<guilabel>Behaviour</guilabel> in the iconbar to the left. Enable the checkbox
<guilabel>Show 'Delete' context menu entries which bypass the
trashcan</guilabel>.
</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question><para>How do I configure the programs that &konqueror; uses to
open different types of files?</para></question>
<answer>
<para>In order to configure file associations, you should go to the
&kcontrolcenter; and choose the item <guimenuitem>File
Associations</guimenuitem> under the category <guimenu>TDE
Components</guimenu>.</para>
<para>
Suppose the default <acronym>PDF</acronym> viewer is now &kghostview; and
you would prefer to use <application>KPDF</application> as a viewer. You
would simply type <userinput>pdf</userinput> in the search box at the top of
the dialog, choose <guimenuitem>pdf</guimenuitem> in the
<guimenu>application</guimenu> group and move
<application>KPDF</application> up. In the <guilabel>Embedding</guilabel>
tab you can also choose which component other applications will use to
display files (for example, when viewing files in &konqueror; or using
&ark;'s embedded viewer).
</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question><para>When I try to click on a folder in &konqueror;, I get the
message: <quote>There appears to be a configuration error. You have
associated Konqueror with inode/directory, but it cannot handle this file
type.</quote></para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Make sure the embedding settings for inode/directory
are correct:
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>In &konqueror;, go to
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
Konqueror</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and then to the <guilabel>File
Associations</guilabel> page.</para></listitem> <listitem><para>Open
inode->directory in the tree view.</para></listitem> <listitem><para>Click on
the
<guilabel>Embedding</guilabel> tab. Make sure that <guilabel>Left Click
Action</guilabel> is set to <guilabel>Show file in embedded
viewer</guilabel>, and by default <guilabel>Icon View (konq_iconview)</guilabel>
is at the top
of <guilabel>Services Preference Order.</guilabel></para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry> <question> <para>What are <option>%i</option> and
<option>%m</option> parameters in a file's Properties Command line?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>They are used by all &tde; applications (since they are implemented in
<classname>TDEApplication</classname> and all good &tde; programs create a
<classname>TDEApplication</classname> object before they even look at the
command line arguments).</para> <para>A standard line for a &tde;
application looks like this: <userinput><command>foo</command>
<option>... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</option></userinput>. Pretty confusing,
-but it has been designed in that way so that it can integrate legacy,
non-&tde; applications as smoothly as possible. &konqueror;, when executing
the line above, will extend the command to
<userinput><command><replaceable>foo</replaceable></command> <option>-icon
something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The
Foo\"</option></userinput>. Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The
Foo" are properties defined in the <filename>.desktop</filename> file. If
the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name
<replaceable>foo</replaceable>.</para>
<para>This way a user can change these things in &kmenuedit; for his or her
applications. The <option>-caption</option> option is important, because no
user will accept that the menu item <guimenuitem>Editor</guimenuitem> starts
something called <guilabel>kedit-0.9pl4-build47</guilabel>. Instead, users
expect a window called <guilabel>Editor</guilabel>. Furthermore these
names are localized, &ie; an American English user launches
<guimenuitem>CD-Player</guimenuitem> and gets a window called
<guilabel>CD-Player</guilabel> while a German user launches
<guimenuitem>CD-Spieler</guimenuitem> and gets a window called
<guilabel>CD-Spieler</guilabel>.</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question><para>How do I make &konqueror; start up without a menu bar?
I can't save a view profile when the menu bar is invisible!</para>
</question>
<answer><para>The easiest way to do this is to edit &konqueror;'s
configuration file manually. Add the following lines to
<filename>~/.trinity/share/config/konquerorrc</filename>:
<programlisting>
[KonqMainWindow]
MenuBar=Disabled
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>On restarting &konqueror;, the menubar should be hidden.</para>
