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> +</answer> +</qandaentry> + +<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 localised, <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> + +</answer> +</qandaentry> + +<qandaentry> +<question> +<para +>How do I specify the startup folder for &konqueror;?</para> +</question> +<answer> + +<para +>Using the &RMB;, click on the Home icon and choose <guimenuitem +>Properties</guimenuitem +>. Under the <guilabel +>Application</guilabel +> tab you will probably find something like <command +>kfmclient openProfile filemanagement</command +>; just append <filename class="directory" +>file:/whereever/you/want</filename +> with the folder you would like &konqueror; to start in.</para> + +</answer> +</qandaentry> + +<qandaentry> +<question id="nsbookmark"> +<para +>How do I import &Netscape; bookmarks?</para> +</question> +<answer> +<para +>There is no need to import anything at all. &Netscape; bookmarks are automatically available under the <guimenu +>Bookmarks</guimenu +> menu in &konqueror; with no configuration on your part necessary.
