KDE-Forum.org

I use konqueror as a file manager only and would like
to remove certain items from the main menu:

File Edit View Go Bookmarks Tools Settings Window Help

The "Go" and "Booksmarks" items have no use to me.

In addition, the bookmarks item expands to full screen each
time the cursor passes over it. After that the only way to clear
the screen is to click on one of the urls. This is very annoying.

Can I totally remove these two items from the menu.

Thanks

Many thanks to Jucato for this great information given to TerryP
of the PC-BSD forums. You're a wizard and a life-saver.

Open a super user konsole and copy over the xml file from the system configuration to your users configuration like I did:

Code:

Prompt# cp /usr/local/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror.rc /usr/home/<UserName>/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/
Prompt#chmod 644 /usr/home/<UserName>/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror.rc
Dixie#chown Terry:wheel /usr/home/<UserName>/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror.rc


Open konqueror and go to /usr/home/<UserName>/.kde/
share/apps/konqueror/ and open konqueror.rc with kwrite. This is an XML file. Find the entry you want to remove or edit
and change it at the top level by commenting it out. A starting comment is <!-- and the end of the comment is -->
so to remove the booksmark menu its like

Code:

<!-- Testing to remove bookmark menu
<Action name="bookmarks"/>
<Menu name="tools"><text>&amp;Tools</text>
<Action name="open_terminal"/>
<Action name="findfile"/>
<WeakSeparator/>
<Merge/>
</Menu>
-->



You should really be able to hack around this file and others to customise konqueror. Simular methods should work for most KDE apps.
Its just good if you place your changes in your home directory like I did so you don't fubar the system setting, the system file
might get overwritten in a Update but your own one wont and not every one who does/may use your comp might like your edits.

Jucato, you're a genius among geniuses.

Thanks millions
