As you klick on the Home icon on your desktop konqueror will open and show you the contents of /home. Right clicking on an empty space and selecting ¨new¨ will give you a context menu with several choices, at the bottom you will see the most interesting ones: ¨Link to application¨ and ¨Link to harddisk¨.
- Lets start with the last one, imagine you want to access your windows partition very often, a direct link to your ¨C¨ drive might come in handy.
- Rightclick, select ¨new¨ and choose ¨harddisk¨ , a window will pop up, on the first tab you fill in ¨Win C¨ and on the last tab you look for the partition of your C-drive. Click O.K. And youre done !
- Now the ¨link to application¨, Lets suppose that you want to be able to start your favorite game while browsing your /home directory you can do the same as above but you have to know the ¨path¨ to the application.
- Rightclick on an ISO file and you can directly choose to burn it to CD
- Rightclick on a zipped file and you can unzip it.
- Rightclick a directory or file to zip it.
- Drag a file, link or directory on the ¨Desktop icon¨ and it will put a link on your desktop.
- Point with your mouse to a sound file ( wav, mp3, ogg ) and you´ll hear music. ( if preview is enabled, see below )
- Next to all this fun you can choose preview in the ´view¨ menu to have thumbnails from all your pictures, text documents, html files etc.
- Put a music CD in your drive, click on the yellow star in the side bar and you can rip the CD to ogg files in seconds.
- Acces the KDE ftp sites by clicking on the globe in the same sidebar.
- Konquror is a great FTP client and sure you can use konqueror to browse the net too.
