I only use konqueror with the file management profile. When I open a new tab the file pane contents are always empty -- blank.
Is a empty/blank page normal or do I have something misconfigured?
I am guessing the blank page is a carry over from web browsing. The only related configuration I could find is Behavior->Home URL, which I have configured to $HOME (actual file path and not env. variable). I would think that one way or another a new tab would list the contents of that path.
I use Tree View all the time. Curiously, when the new empty tab appears, the View->View Mode menu shows 'TDEHTML' and not Tree View.
Methinks I have something mucked up somewhere. Where to look?
Thanks.

You can set it up the way you want it, then Settings / Save View Profile.
You would think. :) I tried a fresh profile and had the same blank tab.
I might fire up my KDE 3.5.10 VM and see what happens.
The blank tab is not the end of the world. Just looks odd for a file manager.

Assuming you are running Konqueror as a file manager, go to Configure -> Behavior and set your startup folder in "Home URL"

Been there done that. :)
I notice the Location box remains empty but the tab shows 'about:blank'.
Changing the Home URL: text to different directories makes no difference.
Interestingly, when typing Home URL:/home/user the konquerorrc file shows:
[FMSettings] HomeURL[$e]=$HOME
I would imagine when in filemanager profile that a new tab opens to the Home URL or at least duplicates the previously focused tab.
Do you get a blank page when in file manager profile?

Hi Darrell, I set a path in the the settings and each new tab opens in the location I specified. Make sure you are saving and loading the correct profile as well, since Konqueror comes with a number of profiles in first place.
about:blank is basically saying "empty tab", that is basically what you would do in a browser too if you want an empty tab.
Cheers Michele

I have a gazillion konqueror windows open, some of them with a gazillion tabs each. (This is just a rough estimate.)
Once I get all my konqueror windows and tabs set for my most-used locations, I save the session: left-click on the startup menu to find it. (I am using the old-fogey version, not the Kickoff menu.)
This works (at least, for myself) not just for setting locations for konqueror tabs, but also for most of my other most-used programs, or kpdf (for whatever I am reading in digital form), office documents, konsole with several tabs open, etc. However, I do not set browser windows to open, keep my machine offline until I want to change to online. And so on.
You will of course do things differently, but save session preserves my startup system as I want. Been doing it like that since before TDE, back in the KDE3 days, nearly 20 years now.

I don't know. Must be something obvious right in front of my nose that I am not seeing. Hopefully one day the proverbial light bulb shines and I see the light.
