<title
>&Netscape; Plugins</title>

<para
>Currently, &konqueror; supports &Netscape; 4.x plugins.</para>

<para
>Selecting <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Settings</guimenu
><guisubmenu
> Configure Konqueror...</guisubmenu
><guimenuitem
>Plugins</guimenuitem
> </menuchoice
> will give you a dialogue box with two tabbed pages; <guilabel
>Scan</guilabel
> and <guilabel
>Plugins</guilabel
>.</para>

<para
>The <guilabel
>Scan</guilabel
> page controls how &kde; scans for new &Netscape; plugins, either manually by pressing the <guibutton
>Scan for New Plugins</guibutton
> button or automatically each time &kde; starts up.</para>
	
<para
>The scan is done by looking through the folders listed in the <guilabel
>Scan Folders</guilabel
> list for <literal role="extension"
>.so</literal
> files containing plugin code. It examines every such file to find out which <acronym
>MIME</acronym
> types the plugin supports. It then creates <acronym
>MIME</acronym
> type definitions for &kde; in the user's <filename class="directory"
> ~/.kde/share/mimelnk</filename
> folder to make other applications aware of them.</para>

<para
>The <guilabel
>Plugins</guilabel
> page shows you the &Netscape; plugins that &kde; has found, and for each plugin it lists the <acronym
>MIME</acronym
> types and the filename suffixes it uses to recognise them.</para>

<para
>The dialogue box also contains a checkbox <guilabel
> Enable plugins globally</guilabel
> which you can use to enable or disable plugins that can be contained in <acronym
>HTML</acronym
> pages (these can be considered a security risk).</para>
