not serious, but certainly annoying

hi, people . . . hope all is well with one and all. i've meant to ask about this for a long time, and now as i wait for a print job to complete i have a chance. it is an annoying issue involving konqueror that i hope a little configuration tweak might fix. it has been around for multiple versions now. it's this: let us say that i am using konqueror to look at a directory. i see a pdf file that might be what i'm looking for. i click on it and it opens in the embedded pdf viewer. nope, wrong file. click the up arrow to get back to the directory. only now, it has gone from icon view to detailed list view. i have nothing against detailed list view. i use it often. but it is not welcome to insert itself whenever it feels like it. so, then, the question: how can i get it to remain in icon view after having looked at a pdf in the embedded viewer; else, how to i get it to forego the embedded viewer entirely in favor of some other pdf program, so i keep konqueror going in icon view? hope the question is understandable. thanks. best, -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?
