Hi,
Minitools are what other browsers call favelets or bookmarklets.
http://bookmarklets.com/ and http://tantek.com/favelets/
These are only javascript URLs (javascript:...)
Konqueror doesn't allow you to execute javascript from the bookmarks menu so
this minitools button has been created.
The problems to my mine is that when you want to bookmark a javascript: URL, the
bookmark doesn't go in the minitools ones. It will be a good thing.
