KDE-Forum.org

I know that several people have asked about this, so I'm sorry to ask again---but nothing I've found seems to work.

Konqueror always opens in Icon view. I'd like it to open in MultiColumn view.

I've saved a View Profile with MultiColumn; it's at the top of my View Profile list. Someone suggested that this would make Konqueror use it as the default, but it doesn't. I'd rather not have to select a profile for each Konqueror window I open.

I've checked these config files:

/home/[username]/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc

/root/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc

...but both of them already say:

[MainView Settings]
SaveViewPropertiesLocally=0
ToggableViewsShown=konq_sidebartng
ViewMode=konq_multicolumnview

Someone suggested starting Konqueror with this command:

kfmclient openProfile [profilename]

But when I type that at a command prompt and press Enter, I see:

>

...meaning it's waiting for more text, right?

Any other ideas? Thanks. (I'm using KDE v3.5.2.)

You're right, my profile name did contain a quote:

A's profile

(Well, actually an apostrophe, but that's like a single quote.)

Okay, assuming I fix that, I can include the profile name in a command to run Konqueror.

But is that the only way to have K. remember the view you want? How about adding a way to make it the default profile in the "manage profiles" list? That would be useful.

(And I must say, I still don't really understand why Konqueror seems to ignore the view mode specified in the config files...)
