One thing I
have noticed about
Konqueror 3.5.13 is embedded viewing is the
default for just about everything.
I prefer to use the external app rather than the KPart
embedded viewers.
When I migrate a KDE 3.5.10 profile to TDE none of
those settings remain.
I'm thrown back to the embedded viewers.
Is there an easy or quick way to reverse this default
without having to
manually reset them with each mimetype of app
that is
opened? You might want to verify that the desktop files in
~/.trinity/share/mimelnk/ are intact and pointing to the
correct TDE
binaries (i.e. if full paths to the external apps are
specified with
/usr/bin instead of /opt/trinity/bin TDE may resort to the
default
embedded viewers).
Other than that it Should Just Work (TM). ;-)
After I change the default and a new desktop file exists $KDEHOME/share/mimelnk, yes, the
file opens externally. The problem is not file paths but system defaults. Many of the
desktop files in $PREFIX/share/mimelnk are set to AutoEmbed=true.
Your response reminded me that in KDE3 I configured a KDEDIRS directory and through the
years I saved many modified desktop files there.
I have not configured a KDEDIRS directory in TDE but apparently I need to do that.
Some people prefer embedded viewing and others don't. Seems there should be an easy
way to override the defaults other than each time a user opens a file to first manually
select the external app, which creates a new desktop file in $KDEHOME/share/mimelnk. :)
I suppose when I build my packages I could globally change all occurrences of
AutoEmbed=true to AutoEmbed=false.
