Questions and Answers
Can I run from another window manager?
Just install , and , and from your favorite window manager, launch . It should work just fine, but if it doesn't ( developers don't test that case often), report it to http://bugs.kde.org and try running kdeinit before running ; it usually helps.
Where does keep all its configuration data?
Generally in the qtpaths --paths GenericDataLocation folder (this may be ~/.local/share on your system, depending on how was installed). Don't alter these files unless you really know what you are doing.
Your bookmarks are held in konqueror/bookmarks.xml
Cookies are held in kcookiejar/cookies
Your history, as used for the auto-completion feature, is in konq_history in the folder qtpaths --paths GenericConfigLocation.
In the folder qtpaths --paths GenericConfigLocation the file konquerorrc holds a whole lot of general configuration settings.
The folder kio_http/ in qtpaths --paths GenericCacheLocation contains the browser cache.
Any folder specific view settings are put into .directory files in the individual folders.
How do I clear out the history file?
There are two histories:
One is used for text completion in the Location Toolbar text entry box. To clear this right click on the text entry box and select Clear History .
The other is the log of visited locations. Select Show History in the menu Go and right click on an entry and choose Remove Entry (∇) to remove just that entry or Clear History to delete all entries.
You can also use the application from the kdeutils module which allows you to clean up cookies, favicons, web history and cache, form completion entries and cache policies of visited websites.
How do I enable, disable or clear the browser cache?
If you select Web Browsing Cache in the dialog launched by selecting Settings Configure Konqueror... , you will be presented with a dialog box that lets you disable the cache, clear it or set its size, and change the caching policy.
How can I change the timeout values used by when web browsing?
In the category Network on the Settings Connection Preferences page.
How do I set my home page - the page loaded on startup?
has a Home Folder used in file manager mode and a Home Page used in browser mode.
To change these settings launch Settings Configure Konqueror General.
To set the startup page in filemanager mode select Show Introduction Page, Show My Home Page, Show Blank Page or Show My Bookmarks from the drop down box labeled When Konqueror starts.
In browser mode starts with the Home page entry.
