I posted earlier about the problems I was having in persuading Konqueror to save my view profile -- I kept setting the view to Detail and saving the view profile in every way I could, but when I came back to the same directory, the view reverted to the full icon view. I now understand the problem a little better, but still don't have a solution. It seems that if I bring up /smb (and probably many other things also) via a command window, Konqueror is invoked to display it (as it should be). But the view profile that Konq uses is *not* filemanagement, as I might have expected, since switching the view profile to filemanagement in fact gives me the detail view I want. So Konq is using some other view profile for that kind of invocation -- but which view profile is it using? Paul
