>The File Manager and Web Browser</title>
11
>The file manager and web browser of &kde; is &konqueror;. The &konqueror; home page is located at <ulink url="http://www.konqueror.org"
12
>http://www.konqueror.org</ulink
13
> where a &konqueror; specific <acronym
15
> can be found.</para>
21
>How do I use &konqueror; as a web browser with a proxy?</para>
25
>&konqueror; can be used with &HTTP; and &FTP; proxies. To set up the proxy server in &konqueror;, just select <menuchoice
29
>Configure &konqueror;...</guisubmenu
31
> from the &konqueror; menu and go to the <guilabel
40
>How can I change the appearance of a folder in &konqueror;?</para>
44
>Right-click the folder, select <guimenuitem
45
>Properties</guimenuitem
46
>, click on the large icon in the dialogue which appears and choose another icon.</para>
48
>To change the icon displayed for entries in the <guimenu
50
>, use the <application
51
>Menu Editor</application
52
>, located at <menuchoice
56
>Menu Editor</guimenuitem
65
>How can I do non-anonymous &FTP; transfers with &konqueror;?</para>
69
>Normally, if you enter a &URL; like <userinput
71
>ftp.somehost.com</replaceable
73
>, &konqueror; will attempt an anonymous login to the &FTP; server. If you want to login as a particular user, enter a &URL; like <userinput
75
>username@ftp.somehost.com</replaceable
77
> instead. &konqueror; will ask for your password and connect to the server.</para>
88
> in the Execute line?</para
92
>They are used by all &kde; applications (since they are implemented in <classname
93
>KApplication</classname
94
> and all good &kde; programs create a <classname
95
>KApplication</classname
96
> object before they even look at the command line arguments).</para
98
>A standard line for a &kde; application looks like this: <userinput
102
>... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</option
104
>. Pretty confusing, but it has been designed in that way so that it can integrate legacy, non-&kde; applications as smoothly as possible. &konqueror;, when executing the line above, will extend the command to <userinput
110
>-icon something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The Foo\"</option
112
>. Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The Foo" are properties defined in the <filename
114
> file. If the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name <replaceable
119
>This way a user can change these things in &kmenuedit; for his or her applications. The <option
121
> option is important, because no user will accept that the menu item <guimenuitem
123
> starts something called <guilabel
124
>kedit-0.9pl4-build47</guilabel
125
>. Instead, he expects a window called <guilabel
127
>. Furthermore these names are localised, <abbrev
129
> an American user launches <guimenuitem
130
>CD-Player</guimenuitem
131
> and gets a window called <guilabel
133
> while a German user launches <guimenuitem
134
>CD-Spieler</guimenuitem
135
> and gets a window called <guilabel
136
>CD-Spieler</guilabel
145
>How do I specify the startup folder for &konqueror;?</para>
150
>Using the &RMB;, click on the Home icon and choose <guimenuitem
151
>Properties</guimenuitem
152
>. Under the <guilabel
153
>Application</guilabel
154
> tab you will probably find something like <command
155
>kfmclient openProfile filemanagement</command
156
>; just append <filename class="directory"
157
>file:/whereever/you/want</filename
158
> with the folder you would like &konqueror; to start in.</para>

<question id="nsbookmark">
166
>How do I import &Netscape; bookmarks?</para>
170
>There is no need to import anything at all. &Netscape; bookmarks are automatically available under the <guimenu
172
> menu in &konqueror; with no configuration on your part necessary. The <application
173
>Bookmark Editor</application
174
> is able to convert &Netscape; bookmarks to the format used by &konqueror;, if you want this.</para>
181
>How do I fool a site into believing &konqueror; is &Netscape; or some other browser?</para>
185

>What is this new <guilabel
225
> policy for JavaScript web popups?</para>
229
>This new policy attempts to block intrusive JavaScript popup windows. If the user does not click on a button or submit a form to trigger the popup, then the popup is not permitted. Some sites will open a second new window from within the first and in that case, the second window will not show. </para>
236
>Why doesn't my banking site work with &konqueror;? It pops up a new window with the login screen in other browsers, but not in &konqueror;.</para>
240
>Make sure you have Javascript enabled, and the default JavaScript web popups policy set to <guilabel
246
> policy is not always sufficient for some banks. Many banks also require &Java; support. You can find more help on enabling this at <ulink url="http://www.konqueror.org/"

255
>Why can't &konqueror; render &GIF; images?</para>
259
>It is because you did not enable &GIF; support in &Qt;. Please see <xref linkend="gif"/> for more details.</para>
266
>How do I rename files?</para>
272
> click on the file and select <guimenuitem
