No problem, I don't care all that much one way or the other about credit. Glad it worked for you, and you get extra good karma points.

The same steps work to set most of the default applications in TDE (and I think it's still the same in KDE4). However, as I mentioned, there are some applications that apparently cannot be set as the default by that method - KPDF is the one that most annoyed me, as I prefer it for my pdf reader, but cannot set it as the default. It is curiouser still, because both Konqueror and KPDF are KDE/TDE.
If anybody has some notion why it works for some applications but not others, I would be interested to know.
Hi Bill,
It can be done, you're just in the wrong area to change that ;) as it’s a Konqueror {default?} behavior that you’re needing to override.
In Konqueror:
- Settings >> Configure Konqueror >> File Associations - Find filename patter: >> pdf - Known Types >> {Select pdf} - Select tab “Embedding” - In “Left Click Action”: - - Check “Use settings for ‘application’ group” - - Un-check everything else - - Verify KPDF is first entry*
* It’s first in both tabs for me.
Best, Michael
