Questions and Answers
How can I browse web sites using non latin scripts?
Detailed instructions can be found at http://www.konqueror.org/i18n.html
Can I run from another window manager?
Just install , kdelibs and kdebase, and from your favourite window manager, just launch . It should work just fine, but if it doesn't ( developers don't test that case often), report it to http://bugs.kde.org and try running kdeinit before running , it usually helps.
Where does keep all its configuration data?
Generally in the ~/.kde directory (this may be ~/.kde3 on your system, depending on how 3 was installed). Don't alter these files unless you really know what you are doing.
The ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/profiles directory holds individual files containing settings for each of your profiles.
Your bookmarks are held in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml
Cookies are held in ~/.kde/share/apps/kcookiejar/cookies
Your history, as used for the auto-completion feature, is in ~/.kde/share/config/konq_history
In the directory ~/.kde/share/config/ the files konqiconviewrc, konqlistviewrc and konquerorrc hold a whole lot of general configuration settings.
The directory ~/.kde/share/cache/http/ contains the browser cache.
The Navigation Panel uses the files and subdirectories in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng
Any directory specific view settings are put into .directory files in the individual directories.
How do I clear out the history file?
There are two histories:
One is used for text completion in the Locationbar text entry box. To clear this right click on the text entry box and select Empty Contents .
The other is the log of visited locations. Select the History page in the Navigation Panel, right click on an entry and choose Remove Entry to remove just that entry or Clear History to delete all entries.
How do I enable, disable or clear the browser cache?
If you select Preferences Web Browsing Cache from the K menu you will be presented with a dialog box that lets you disable the cache, clear it or set its size, and change the cacheing policy.
