The only thing left is to figure out how to create a playlist in KMplayer so that I can click on the list of file names one-at-a-time to play the videos rather than closing and opening each video from the folder of video clips.
This is pretty easy. Open a text editor to a new, blank document and 'shape' the window so it fits in the left half of your screen. Then copy and paste the following template into it. Be sure to remove the quotation right-angle brackets I've inserted for this e-mail:
<html> <!--start line--> <head><title>Local Links</title> <body>
<h1>Local Links</h1> <p><a href="LINK PATH, BETWEEN -QUOTES">DISPLAYED LINK NAME</a></p>
</body> </html><!-- end line-->
Save the text document with a name like 'playlist.html'. Open Konqueror and 'shape' it so it fits in the right half of your screen and navigate to the directory containing the clips that you want in your playlist. Right-click on each file that you want in your playlist, select "Copy", then "Paste" the it into the text document (html page.) Note it pastes the **location** (link address) since you're editing a text-based document. The location belongs, as indicated, between the quotation marks and after the 'a href='. The link title, as it will appear in your playlist when viewed in a browser, is entered where I've put 'DISPLAYED LINK NAME'... between the angle brackets. Here's an example link from my system: file:///home/carlh/scratch/264699.pdf I'll name this link 'A Random .pdf File' Here's what it should look like (remove the left-hand right-angle bracket!):
<p><a href="file:///home/carlh/scratch/264699.pdf">A Random .pdf File</a></p>
That's it. The "<p></p>" tag pair represents a paragraph 'wrapper' for your links. Each link is comprised of an anchor "<a href=""></a>" tag pair. The text that is displayed when you view the playlist in a browser appears between the opening and closing anchor tags: "<a href="">Displayed Text Goes Here</a>" Have fun and good luck! Carl
