Then I must be misunderstanding you. what is this about:konqueror
screen? The only one I have is the one that shows version, authors and
translators.

Well, all I know is that when I type "about:konqueror" in the address
bar, I get a pretty screen with a few things to click, one of which is a
little house, which sends me to my home directory.

Strange. It works on this laptop - Mandriva 2008.1 with kde4. And it
worked on 2008.0 with kde3 - and earlier versions, but I can't remember
how far back I first did it.

Maybe you can post your profile file (or at least the [Profile] portion
of it, and I can simply adapt it.

Although if you don't see the same screen as I do when you do
"about:konqueror", then I'm not sure how easy it will be to adapt it. If
I bypass the "about:konqueror" screen, I can get tree views just fine.

Doc

Hi Doc. I just fired up Fedora 9, and opened konqueror, and the page you're
referring to appears to be the default page when konqueror opens. I say
this because I typed about:konqueror, and nothing changed. I then typed
about:plugins, and got a list of plugins. Then I typed about:konqueror
again, which brought me back to the initial screen.

If this is the same one as you're referring to, I've got the little house
for the home/user folder (and that works). there are also icons for,
"Trash", "Network Folders", and "Applications", and below the icons, one
line, as below, which starts with an arrow.

Ok. Rebooted into Kubuntu HH 8.04. Now I've already got rid of Dolphin as the
file manager, and reverted to konqueror. To do this open Control Centre on
the main menu, then KDE Components > File Associations > inode > directory.
Just click on Konqueror and move it up above Dolphin. You should now find
Konqueror in file manager mode accessable from the icon (System Menu) to the
right of the big "K".

So far so good Doc. Click on the System Menu icon and go for the home folder.
Click on view, then select "tree view", which will change the view. Now click
on settings, and then "Save View Profile "File Management"". Make sure the
profile management window has File Management in the box, click on save.

Now that works ok. When clicking on the System Menu icon on the panel, and
selecting Home Folder, I now get the tree view.

By contrast, if I open konqueror, the webbrowser, and upon opening it, and
without having to enter about:konqueror in the address bar, I still have a
bunch of icons showing, including the little house representing "Home". Click
on home, and get the icon view. Now I click on view, select tree view, which
changes to tree view. Now click on settings, then Save View Profile "Web
Browsing", then change the Profile Management window so that File Management
shows in the top box, click on save, close konqueror webbrowser, then reopen
it, click on the home icon, and I'm back to the icon view. for some reason
saving the tree view hasn't been saved.

Just some observations.

Nigel.
