personalizing about:konqueror
 

Where is the file that is displayed when I go to the URL "about:konqueror"?
I'd like to personalize that page to include some common destinations other
than just my home directory, but I haven't been able to find anything that
tells me which file is read when I go that URL.

/usr/share/apps/konqueror/about/launch.html

If you look at the URLs for the links for Introduction, Tips, etc, the pages
are all in the same folder and the initial page is the 'Starting Points'
page.

Hmmm.... so it's stored outside the user's file hierarchy? That sucks. So I
guess that my follow-on question is: do you know how I make
"about:konqueror" load a different page than
/usr/share/apps/konqueror/about/launch.html?


(I thought that there'd be a nice easy way to configure this in some
initialization file somewhere under ~/.kde, but if there is, it seems to be
hidden rather well.)

what about removing or renaming the above launch.html file
and using the name "launch.html" to create a symbolic link
to the actual file you want to use.

Most things in /usr/share/apps have corresponding overrides in
~/.kde/share/apps, so the first thing to try would be copying launch.html
to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/about/launch.html and modifying that - and
sure enought, it works.

Why not simply set your homepage to whatever file you want?
You can do it by going to Settings/Configure Konqueror.../Behavior and then
setting the Home URL to the file you want.

Well, that's what _I'd_ do - I didn't even know there was
an "about:konqueror" option until this came up. But since he asked... :-)

That is a gem. Thanks very much.
