(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror When I use a profile that changes the default sorting categories for detailed view (file name size permissions etc.) to something else (eg name file type MIME type etc.) the new settings are nor honored any more as soon as I view a tar.gz file. In this case the view switches back to the default settings. This is of course not what the users expects and wants after going through the hassle of creating a profile.

Hmm this is interesting because it's a different point of view about the n= otion of "profile".... Here is how things are currently in konqueror (cc'ing the doc team since it= may help them ;-) Profiles =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D A profile is an arrangement of views.=20 In the profile you can find the type of each view (icon detailed list tre= e HTML text etc.)=20 as well as the position and size of each view in the window. In addition the profile can contain the location (URL) shown by the view -= for instance the default File Management profile shows the Home directory but the defau= lt Web Browsing profile comes up with an empty window. Another thing you can find in a profile is the size of the window saved if= the "Save window size" option is checked. Use a profile to save a complex arrangement of views and be able to reload = it in one click possibly to view different locations (it doesn't have to be bound to a part= icular location but it can be). Properties =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D When you change the properties of a view (whether it shows hidden files im= age previews the size of the icons the sorting etc.) this new setting is instantaneous= ly saved and remember and applied to any other view of the same type in the future. For even more configurability check the "Save View Properties In Directory= " option. When this option is checked the changes to the view properties as defined above= are not saved globally but only for the directory currently shown (using a .directory fi= le). This is how you can customize the appareance of a given directory in konqueror including t= he type of directory view that should be used for it (icon list tree or text-list etc.) the = size of the icons the sorting etc. "Remove Directory Properties" removes the properties for the current direct= ory reverting to the global settings. Note: uncheck "Save View Properties In Directory" if you want to change the= global settings. I hope this helps. PS: I think the above is not 100% correct in the current implementation be= cause IIRC the sorting isn't saved as part of the view properties. But that's a bug and I'll fix i= t ;-) PS2: this bug report opens my eyes on the fact that maybe the profile could= save even more i.e. it could ask each view to save its properties into it. But this also m= eans that same directory could be viewed with different properties depending on the profile used to= show it.. I think this goes a bit too far ;-). And it would lead to a strange feeling if going up and = down again to this directory leads to different properties because initially they were those of the pro= file but when reopening the directory they become those saved in the .directory file (the "Director= y Properties"). --=20 David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE Making The Future of Computing Available Today See http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html for how to set up KDE 2

But that's a bug and I'll fix it ;-) I think some time ago we decided on kfm-devel to save displayed columns sort order and so on for every protocol ( I didn't want that if you remember) . So a .tar.gz is a different protocol -> it get's the default settings until you change them. Bye Alex
Still valid for 3.2.3
but is it still valid for kde 4.3?
