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

I just want to make sure if someone else has the
same question they know
what worked for me.

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.
