Hi All,

I remember that when I hovered my mouse over links in web pages on Konq 3.5,
it would show at the bottom of the window the URL that the link in question
contained. This allowed me to decide if I wanted to visit the URL or not.

With KDE4 I can't find how to activate this. Any ideas?

This is usually called the "status bar" - I might guess you may be
able to show or hide it in Konq's view options.


Stroller.

Thanks Stroller!

I couldn't find where to change this setting. Then went into
~/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing and changed
ViewStatus=Disabled to Enabled.

Strange this, when I reopened the file just now I couldn't find this entry
anymore ... I guess that only non-default settings are shown in that file?
However, I don't recall changing this setting from default.

Anyway, this is now fixed! Thanks.

Only other two things that bother me are these:

In KDE3.5 when I hovered over files I used to get a preview of their contents
in a thumbnail. This was particularly useful with configuration, scripts and
log files as it would show the first few lines of text in them. Any idea how
I could enable this? Again I can't find a setting in Konqueror's settings and
I have enabled the preview in Dolphin's settings.

In konqueror:

Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Management -> General - Previews tab -

Thanks Alan, unfortunately selecting these/Apply/OK/restart Konqueror does not
make any change. I have also tried selecting 'Use thumbnails embedded in
files' but no success. What else is there to try?

PS. I am running stable version 4.3.3

Thanks for your help. Will wait until 4.3.4 or later becomes stable in case
my problem is magically fixed. ;-)
