[opensuse] Tabbed browsing in Konqueror
My preference is to have one instance of Konqueror in web browser mode, and open all links in tabs in that one instance. I'm not talking about Konqueror in file manager mode, here. I thought the following would achieve what I want, but it doesn't :( Settings: Configure Konqueror: Web Behaviour: Tabbed Browsing: Select: 'Open links in new tab instead of in new window' Advanced Options: Select: 'Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally' When I click on a link in Kmail or Knode a new instance of Konqueror gets fired up with a single tab containing the URL I clicked on, even if there is another instance of Konqueror already running in web browsing mode. What am I missing? -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.7 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This might be down to one of KDE's interesting features. A copy of konq is loaded into memory at start up. One can make certain changes and nothing seems to happen. If it's down to that just have one kde window open. Make the change, close konq and then log out and log in again. From memory I've only had that problem with changes to the current view profile. It might also apply to others. If all else fails disable the pre load into memory for a while.

That gets me to where I was before (see above) by a slightly different route. All the settings I described in my original post are as they were.

Sorry, that didn't work :(

I mean the kde menu on the bottom left of your desktop, left hand side of the kicker panel, the one you use to start applications. You are referring to konquerer settings. I am referring to the kde settings.

If you want to keep konqueror's view under settings save view profile If you start konquerer as a web browser, it uses the web browser profile but if you start konquerer as a file manager it uses th file management profile. This could be what is happening, you have started konquerer the file manager and when you click on a web link konquerer the web browser is starting as well. Try starting the first konquerer from the internet menu and see if that works. Make sure your kde settings are correct as well.

Yes, I know. Whether I get to tabbed browsing from Konqueror's Setting menu, from KDE menu Control Centre or from KDE menu Settings (under Actions) it ends up displaying the same page with same data as I entered previously. They are not different animals.

I have different profiles setup for web browsing and file management. For example, I do not want to see the bookmarks toolbar in file manager mode. So, I just started Konqueror from the Internet menu, and it opened at my home page, as expected. In Kmail, I went to the thread near this one called 'New game release includes a linux version', and clicked on the link referred to. A new Konqueror window opened, not a new tab in the existing Konqueror. Grrr. I'm sure Firefox does what I want, but I happen to want Konqueror as my default browser. -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.7 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry I'm stumped, I use firefox and thunderbird. Only use konquerer for file management. I had to set the kde settings for firefox though, including the new tab bit. I feel for you, I hate having lots of windows scattered all over my desktops. What version of suse are you running by the way.

10.3, as described in my sig below. Many thanks for your help. I may just go back to Firefox, but it'll mean transferring all the bookmarks I've created :( I can't remember why I decided I preferred konqueror to firefox, so I might as well change it.

I remember. I can drag all those bookmarks about for one. The translate for another but must admit that simpler one for firefox is good. Who had tabbed windows 1st too? They should have made it stand alone. I still like it and no spinning icon for ages as it's a kde package.

Well, I tried logging out, then logging back in again, but I still get links loading into separate windows, not separate tabs of the existing Konqueror window.

No from the problem I had. The pre load speeds things up but another must be loaded when one is run. Makes sense as it speeds ever konq open up. There must be a problem with saving settings. It had me tearing my hair out and the kde mail list was no help. Once in that state I can't be too sure what I did but it was very much on the lines I have suggested and it worked. Having multiple konq windows open definitely was a problem. That's my clearest memory. I had this experience on 9.3 and would have hoped that things have changed by now. You could try the pure kde mailing list at kde.org. It's very very quiet at the moment.

I just disabled the pre-load thingy, logged out & in, but the konqueror behaviour hasn't changed.

...as well ;) Some one explained to me a long long time ago that the best flavour of linux is the vanilla one but one has to build up from that from scratch. Once there you are free. I've resisted the temptation. Another explained that it's best done starting from a simple distro.
There is some on about on the kde kde.org list at the moment that can often answers questions like yours. Seems nobody on here can answer mine. All suse things too John
