I do several tasks=20 with it, and I'm very pleased that Linux and KDE exist. Unfortunately, I'm not glad with the file bindings of=20 konqueror. The main reason for this is, that konqueror as a=20 web browser always uses the same file bindings as konqueror=20 as a file manager. * When I tell konqui to open jpg files with my favorite image=20 viewer, konqui also opens jpgs on web pages with the image=20 viewer. * When I tell konqui to always open text files in my favorite=20 text editor, also text files on the web are opened with the=20 text editor instead showing them inline in konqui. * When I try to assign my favorite HTML-editor to open local=20 html files, also on the web HTML pages are shown in the=20 editor but in line. * When I try tho connect kpackage with rpm files, also=20 klicking rpm files on the web doesn't offer to download them=20 to disk but puts the rpm to the cache and then opens it in=20 kpackage. Worse, because many links to rpm files are not=20 direct links which one could right click and save as but=20 links to a script which then delivers the file, so save as=20 cannot be performed. =46urther more, I do not like konqui to always show as many=20 files as possible inline but opening my favorite editor.=20 Clicking files like images, text, calendar - everything is=20 shown in line. So, I have the following possibilities: * Leaving the file bindings as they are delivered with KDE and=20 opening local files always using right click - open with.=20 Very unconvenient * alternatively, open local files from a terminal using=20 $APPNAME $FILETOOPEN * Changing the file bindings as I like to have them and then=20 never more using konqui as a web browser because of the=20 broken file bindings. Using mozilla instead. But I'd like to=20 use konqui also for browsing, not only as a file manager * creating a second user and starting a second KDE session=20 only for web browsing. This is very unconvenient So, how do you handle your local files? Are you pleased the=20 way KDE handles them, or would you also like to behave=20 konqueror web browser different as in file managing mode? Please let me know what you think about this issue.
