<title

<sect1 id="save-settings-general">
<title
>General Settings</title>
<para
>When you close down &konqueror; your current <guimenu
>View</guimenu
> menu settings (such as the <guimenuitem
>View Mode</guimenuitem
>, <guimenuitem
>Use index.html</guimenuitem
> and <guimenuitem
>Show Hidden Files </guimenuitem
> items) are automatically saved as the default options to be used next time &konqueror; is started.</para>
<para
>But you can also specify different <guimenu
>View</guimenu
> menu settings for an individual folder. To do this check the <guimenuitem
>View Properties Saved in Folder</guimenuitem
> box in the <guimenu
>Settings</guimenu
> menu, change the <guimenu
>View</guimenu
> settings to whatever you want then uncheck the <guimenuitem
>View Properties saved in Folder</guimenuitem
> box. Doing this creates a <filename
>.directory</filename
> file in that folder to hold the folder <guimenu
>View</guimenu
> settings. Use the <menuchoice
><guimenu
> Settings</guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Remove Folder Properties</guimenuitem
> </menuchoice
> option to remove the folder specific settings (or just delete the <filename
>.directory</filename
> file).</para>
<note
><para
>One nice use of this feature is if you have a folder full of pictures. You can set that particular folder to display thumbnails of the pictures (by choosing <guimenuitem
>Icon View</guimenuitem
> and <menuchoice
> <guisubmenu
>Preview</guisubmenu
><guimenuitem
>Show Previews</guimenuitem
> </menuchoice
> from the <guimenu
>View</guimenu
> menu) when you open it, while not displaying images as thumbnails in other folders.</para

</sect1>
<sect1 id="save-settings-view-profiles">
<title
>View Profiles</title>
<para
>&konqueror; can save a whole set of options as a <quote
>View Profile</quote
>. Some view profiles are part of the standard &konqueror; installation, such as <property
>Web Browsing</property
> and <property
>File Management</property
>, but you can add your own, too.</para>
<para
>To modify a view profile (say, the <property
>Web Browsing</property
> profile), load the profile with <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Settings</guimenu
><guisubmenu
>Load View Profile</guisubmenu
><guimenuitem
>Web Browsing</guimenuitem
> </menuchoice
>, and change the &konqueror; settings to whatever you want. Now select <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Settings</guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Save View Profile "Web Browsing"...</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
>. In the dialogue which appears, you can change the name of the profile, which will create a new profile with that name, or you can leave the name as it is to modify the current profile. If you select <guilabel
>Save URLs in profile</guilabel
>, the current &URL; will be loaded when you load that view profile. This functions in a similar way to the <quote
>Home Page</quote
> in many web browsers. If you want &konqueror; to start up with an empty window enter <userinput
>about:blank</userinput
> into the location bar before saving the profile.</para>
<note
><para
>You can create a desktop icon to start &konqueror; with your new profile. First create a desktop icon by dragging the &konqueror; icon from the <guimenu
>K</guimenu
> menu onto the desktop and selecting <guimenuitem
>Copy Here</guimenuitem
>. Then <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> click on the new icon, select <guimenuitem
>Properties...</guimenuitem
> and change <guilabel
>Program Name</guilabel
> in the <guilabel
>Execute</guilabel
> tab page to <userinput
><command
>kfmclient</command
> <option
>openProfile <replaceable
>MyNewProfile</replaceable
></option
></userinput
>, <replaceable
>MyNewProfile</replaceable
> being what you called the new profile. Then in the <guilabel
>General</guilabel
> tab page change the name to something like <filename
>MyNewProfile</filename
> and pick a more suitable icon.</para
