[opensuse] kwinrule/window-specific settings
Hello list users: Could someone point me to a link where I can find detailed description on how to use kwinrule (KDE Control Center -> Desktop -> Window-specific settings)? I have no idea what 'window class', 'window role', 'window types', 'extra role' etc. are exactly. I would like to create a desktop icon that opens a window that shows the media storage devices. I want the window to open always at the same place with the same size and the same icon view without affecting the properties of any other window (eg konqueror). I have KDE 3.5.6 latest on SUSE 10.2 installed. TIA, IG _______________________________________________________ Filmszemle díjas filmek ingyen a 38.

I think an easier way than using the control-center module would be: Open the window in question and right-click the title-bar. Then select 'Advacned'. In the submenu there select one of the last two entries (don't know the exact phrase, I'm using the german i18n). This way you don't have to select the window by hand. -- David Mayr, http://davey.de openSUSE LINUX, http://opensuse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks David, I know this but it was not the question. I would like if a file manager (konqueror) window could remember all the settings, ie the size and position where it is opened and the way it shows the file list (icon view/detailed view, icon size, side bar on/off etc). And different windows could remember different settings without affecting each other. It could be easily done 10 years ago in win 95 windows explorer already so I find it strange that it is so difficult to do in KDE where almost everything can be fine tuned.

The size and position of the window should be adjustable via the suggested dialog (or the controlcenter module). (See http://lunabox.de/tmp/) If you'd like to preset settings like side bar and so on, I think you can use konqueror's "profiles" capabilities (konqueror menu -> settings -> view profile or something like that). I hope this helps you ... -- David Mayr, http://davey.de openSUSE LINUX, http://opensuse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks. I've tried and worked. But I still miss a decent/detailed description of the different options of this module. I googled the net and kde site but could not find any.
If you'd like to preset settings like side bar and so
on, I think you can use
konqueror's "profiles" capabilities (konqueror menu -> settings -> view profile or something like that). Yes I know that. I saved different profiles but they never were opened as default. I had to load them to come into effect.
After a lot of experiencing I learned that I have to create a desktop file pointing to the url of the given folder. I also have to edit the desktop file so that it would be opened with the given profile. So more or less I could do what I wanted but there are still obscure points.
