It is simple. Whether it fulfills your needs is another question. Go to the menu Settings and select Save View Profile "profilename". This saves the current layout in the active profile. You are given the option of saving the url and the window size as well. "What is a profile?", you might ask. Let me try this explanation. Konqueror has different view profiles, which are settings files, in which the layout of konqueror is stored. The advantage of this is that we can use the same application for both web browsing and file management, and have a completely different layout of the application depending on what we are doing. Each profile may be selected from the command line with the --profile option. Example: > konqueror --profile webbrowsing This will open konqueror with the web browsing layout. To see all current profiles use: > konqueror --profiles When you click on an icon that opens konqueror, like the home icon (the one with the house), behind the scenes KDE looks up the icon properties which contain the command line option that selects the appropriate view profile. Icons actually use the kfmclient command instead of the konqueor command but that makes no difference. You can see the properties of an icon by right clicking on it and selecting the option that has the wrench icon next to it. The home icon opens konqueror with the filemanagement profile. This means what when you select Settings->Save View Profile, it will by default save the file management profile. So if you want to change the way konqueror looks when you open it as a file browser. Open it as a file browser, do some changes to the layout, and save the profile with the Save View Profile menu option. One consequence of all this, is that the layout of konqueror depends on what profile you open with, and not what you are actually doing. In other words, if you open konqueror in web browsing mode, you get the web browsing layout, even though you can easily type in a local url in the Location field and see you local files. There is no way to make konqueror switch profiles depending on what you are browsing. (No easy way at least..) You can change profile manually with the Settings->Load View Profile menu item if you want. Now let me finish off by putting a disclaimer here. And somebody please correct me if I am wrong on this. Profiles does not save each and every possible option. It is possible that one particular option that you may want to have stored in the profile, is not possible to store. In this case the option comes up with the default choice or the choice dictated by konqueors main settings. There is nothing you can do about this. If you want it changed, file a wishlist bug report on it with KDEs bug tracking system. Anders E. Andersen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
