<para>How can I do non-anonymous &FTP; transfers with &konqueror;?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Normally, if you enter a &URL; like
|
|
<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>,
|
|
&konqueror; will attempt an anonymous login to the &FTP; server. If you
|
|
want to login as a particular user, enter a &URL; like
|
|
<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>username@ftp.somehost.com</replaceable></userinput>
|
|
instead. &konqueror; will ask for your password and connect to the
|
|
server.</para>

<question><para>How do I configure the programs that &konqueror; uses to
|
|
open different types of files?</para></question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>In order to configure file associations, you should go to the
|
|
&kcontrolcenter; and choose the item <guimenuitem>File
|
|
Associations</guimenuitem> under the category <guimenu>KDE
|
|
Components</guimenu>.</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Suppose the default <acronym>PDF</acronym> viewer is now &kghostview; and
|
|
you would prefer to use <application>KPDF</application> as a viewer. You
|
|
would simply type <userinput>pdf</userinput> in the search box at the top of
|
|
the dialog, choose <guimenuitem>pdf</guimenuitem> in the
|
|
<guimenu>application</guimenu> group and move
|
|
<application>KPDF</application> up. In the <guilabel>Embedding</guilabel>
|
|
tab you can also choose which component other applications will use to
|
|
display files (for example, when viewing files in &konqueror; or using
|
|
&ark;'s embedded viewer).

<qandaentry> <question> <para>What are <option>%i</option> and
|
|
<option>%m</option> in the Execute line?</para> </question> <answer>
|
|
<para>They are used by all &kde; applications (since they are implemented in
|
|
<classname>KApplication</classname> and all good &kde; programs create a
|
|
<classname>KApplication</classname> object before they even look at the
|
|
command line arguments).</para> <para>A standard line for a &kde;
|
|
application looks like this: <userinput><command>foo</command>
|
|
<option>... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</option></userinput>. 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><command><replaceable>foo</replaceable></command> <option>-icon
|
|
something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The
|
|
Foo\"</option></userinput>. Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The
|
|
Foo" are properties defined in the <filename>.desktop</filename> file. If
|
|
the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name
|
|
<replaceable>foo</replaceable>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This way a user can change these things in &kmenuedit; for his or her
|
|
applications. The <option>-caption</option> option is important, because no
|
|
user will accept that the menu item <guimenuitem>Editor</guimenuitem> starts
|
|
something called <guilabel>kedit-0.9pl4-build47</guilabel>. Instead, he
|
|
expects a window called <guilabel>Editor</guilabel>. Furthermore these
|
|
names are localized, <abbrev>i.e.</abbrev> an American user launches
|
|
<guimenuitem>CD-Player</guimenuitem> and gets a window called
|
|
<guilabel>CD-Player</guilabel> while a German user launches
|
|
<guimenuitem>CD-Spieler</guimenuitem> and gets a window called
|
|
<guilabel>CD-Spieler</guilabel>.</para>
