Subject: [kde-linux] KOnqueror and file-bindings
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-linux&m=107013814813274

Hi,

I'm using Linux and KDE on my Notebook. I do several tasks 
with it, and I'm very pleased that Linux and KDE exist.

Unfortunately, I'm not glad with the file bindings of 
konqueror. The main reason for this is, that konqueror as a 
web browser always uses the same file bindings as konqueror 
as a file manager.

* When I tell konqui to open jpg files with my favorite image 
viewer, konqui also opens jpgs on web pages with the image 
viewer.

* When I tell konqui to always open text files in my favorite 
text editor, also text files on the web are opened with the 
text editor instead showing them inline in konqui.

* When I try to assign my favorite HTML-editor to open local 
html files, also on the web HTML pages are shown in the 
editor but in line.

* When I try tho connect kpackage with rpm files, also 
klicking rpm files on the web doesn't offer to download them 
to disk but puts the rpm to the cache and then opens it in 
kpackage. Worse, because many links to rpm files are not 
direct links which one could right click and save as but 
links to a script which then delivers the file, so save as 
cannot be performed.

Further more, I do not like konqui to always show as many 
files as possible inline but opening my favorite editor. 
Clicking files like images, text, calendar - everything is 
shown in line.

So, I have the following possibilities:

* Leaving the file bindings as they are delivered with KDE and 
opening local files always using right click - open with. 
Very unconvenient

* alternatively, open local files from a terminal using 
$APPNAME $FILETOOPEN

* Changing the file bindings as I like to have them and then 
never more using konqui as a web browser because of the 
broken file bindings. Using mozilla instead. But I'd like to 
use konqui also for browsing, not only as a file manager

* creating a second user and starting a second KDE session 
only for web browsing. This is very unconvenient


So, how do you handle your local files? Are you pleased the 
way KDE handles them, or would you also like to behave 
konqueror web browser different as in file managing mode?

Please let me know what you think about this issue.


	Gruß / regards
