<title>The File Manager and Web Browser</title>
<para>The file manager and web browser of &kde; is &konqueror;. The &konqueror; home page is located at <ulink url="http://www.konqueror.org">http://www.konqueror.org</ulink> where a &konqueror; specific <acronym>FAQ</acronym> can be found.</para>
<qandaset>

<question>
<para>How do I use &konqueror; as a web browser with a proxy?</para>
</question>

<question>
<para>How can I change the appearance of a folder in &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Right-click the folder, select <guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>, click on the large icon in the dialogue which appears and choose another icon.</para>
<para>To change the icon displayed for entries in the <guimenu>TDE Menu</guimenu>, use the <application>Menu Editor</application>, located at <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Settings</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Menu Editor</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. </para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry>
<question>
<para>How can I do non-anonymous &FTP; transfers with &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Normally, if you enter a &URL; like <userinput>ftp://<replaceable>ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>, &konqueror; will attempt an anonymous login to the &FTP; server. If you want to login as a particular user, enter a &URL; like <userinput>ftp://<replaceable>username@ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput> instead. &konqueror; will ask for your password and connect to the server.</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
<qandaentry> <question> <para>What are <option>%i</option> and <option>%m</option> in the Execute line?</para> </question> <answer>
<para>They are used by all &kde; applications (since they are implemented in <classname>TDEApplication</classname> and all good &kde; programs create a <classname>TDEApplication</classname> object before they even look at the command line arguments).</para> <para>A standard line for a &kde; application looks like this: <userinput><command>foo</command> <option>... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</option></userinput>. Pretty confusing, but it has been designed in that way so that it can integrate legacy, non-&kde; applications as smoothly as possible. &konqueror;, when executing the line above, will extend the command to <userinput><command><replaceable>foo</replaceable></command> <option>-icon something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The Foo\"</option></userinput>. Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The Foo" are properties defined in the <filename>.desktop</filename> file. If the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name <replaceable>foo</replaceable>.</para>
<para>This way a user can change these things in &kmenuedit; for his or her applications. The <option>-caption</option> option is important, because no user will accept that the menu item <guimenuitem>Editor</guimenuitem> starts something called <guilabel>kedit-0.9pl4-build47</guilabel>. Instead, he expects a window called <guilabel>Editor</guilabel>. Furthermore these names are localised, <abbrev>i.e.</abbrev> an American user launches <guimenuitem>CD-Player</guimenuitem> and gets a window called <guilabel>CD-Player</guilabel> while a German user launches <guimenuitem>CD-Spieler</guimenuitem> and gets a window called <guilabel>CD-Spieler</guilabel>.</para>

<question>
<para>How do I specify the startup folder for &konqueror;?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Using the &RMB;, click on the Home icon and choose <guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>. Under the <guilabel>Application</guilabel> tab you will probably find something like <command>kfmclient openProfile filemanagement</command>; just append <filename class="directory">file:/whereever/you/want</filename> with the folder you would like &konqueror; to start in.</para>
</answer>

<question id="nsbookmark">
<para>How do I import &Netscape; bookmarks?</para>

The <application>Bookmark Editor</application> is able to convert &Netscape; bookmarks to the format used by &konqueror;, if you want this.</para>

<question>
<para>What is this new <guilabel>Smart</guilabel> policy for JavaScript web popups?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>This new policy attempts to block intrusive JavaScript popup windows. If the user does not click on a button or submit a form to trigger the popup, then the popup is not permitted. Some sites will open a second new window from within the first and in that case, the second window will not show. </para>

<question>
<para>Why doesn't my banking site work with &konqueror;? It pops up a new window with the login screen in other browsers, but not in &konqueror;.</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Make sure you have Javascript enabled, and the default JavaScript web popups policy set to <guilabel>Ask</guilabel> or <guilabel>Allow</guilabel>. The <guilabel>Smart</guilabel> policy is not always sufficient for some banks. Many banks also require &Java; support. You can find more help on enabling this at <ulink url="http://www.konqueror.org/">http://www.konqueror.org/</ulink>. </para>
