In the help center FAQ, the following appears:
===================================================== How do I specify the startup folder for Konqueror?
Using the right mouse button, click on the Home icon and choose Properties. Under the Application tab you will probably find something like kfmclient openProfile filemanagement; just append file:/whereever/you/want with the folder you would like Konqueror to start in. =====================================================
Does anybody understand this answer? If yes, please provide additional details because I can't figure out how to follow the instructions.
well, as I see, this does only work when view profile 'file browsing' is loaded/activated. then, indeed, one can change the 'home' location by right click on the home icon, then edit properties. works only in that profile, though (standard 'home' button in web browsing mode is not affected). pretty uesless feature, IMHO :)
I'm still confused. Home icon located where? Within Konqueror? The icon on the panel? Desktop?
When I "right-click" on the desktop Home icon, there is a Properties option in the popup menu, but there is no Application tab in the subsequent dialog. There is a URL tab, in which I can define the directory.
When I select the Home icon in the panel, there is no Properties option in the popup menu, but there is an Application tab in the subsequent dialog. There is a Work Path text box that seems to provide the same function.
Thanks.
