[opensuse] Kmail or Chrome behavior
When I click on an URL in kmail I expect the URL to open in Chrome. This happens without problem. The behavior I do not like is that it automatically changes to Chrome. I have looked into Kmail and tried to look through the chrome preferences but I do not see a possibility to change this behavior. I would like to decide when I go to Chrome and when to leave Kamail2. Somebody knows where this behavior can be set? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc6-2-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1) 10:53am up 1 day 0:10, 3 users, load average: 1.99, 1.64, 1.31 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What do you mean it automatically "changes to chrome"? Are you one of those guys that run all your applications in full screen mode, and then wonder why you can only see one at a time? ;-) Delayed switching to launched tasks is not a function of the emailer or any other application. If using KDE, you can control this in: system settings (aka personal settings in some versions) Workspace Appearance and behavior Window Behavior Focus tab, Focus Stealing prevention set to HIGH -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I am running 4 desktops in KDE. Number one for kmail, number two for skype, number 3 for chrome and 4 as playground. So if I am working on my kmail and see an URL that I want to see I cannot finish my kmail work but the desktop changes to Chrome is instantly. Can this behavior be controlled by something like Focus tab or focus stealing prevention? Have never looked into these two functions. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.1.0-rc6-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.1 (4.7.1) 10:45am up 16:02, 3 users, load average: 0.58, 0.63, 1.03 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, I use my virtual desktops like this as well. In addition to the focus prevention setting to High, you can also select a specific desktop where you can force the browser to stay. Desktop 1 for me is Dolphin, 2 is Konsole, 3 is for web browser, 4 is for Kontact. I assign the web browser desktop 3 and in conjunction with the focus prevention set to high you will get the behavior you are looking for. When I click on a link in Kontact the URI opens in the browser but doesn't switch to it, but remains in Kontact. Then whenever I want to view it I just switch to desktop 3 and it's there ready and waiting. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
