None of the other DEs have this problem because none of the other developers design their file manager as a Swiss army knife. I am not complaining about the wonderful multi-faceted design of Konqueror. Nobody wants to change that. I am only advocating that there should be a simple and sane way to change the default design so double-clicking opens the file in a separate external tool.
Hi Darrell,
to open PDF, I learned a simple trick: If I don't mind opening the file as embedded, I will use the left button. If I want PDF open in a separate KPDF application, I use the middle button that opens in a new window by default. In this case, the new window is a separate KPDF, not Konqueror. The same is applied also to other file types - for example pictures - left button opens embedded, middle button opens separate Kuickshow window.
