konqueror browsing a web page director?

nigham · 11-04-2003, 01:42 PM

OK, so konqueror doubles up as a browser and a file manager.

Whenever I try to enter a directory with a file named "index.html", trying to browse the directory, it displays the webpage represented by the HTML file automatically instead.

how do i get around this?

thanks

I don't use Konq...but it would seem that if you are entering the full anme at the end of the path it would make K think you are trying to render the .html file

for example:
file:///home/nigham/website_stuff/index.html
you get the web page stored there but if you issue:
file:///home/nigham/website_stuff
you should see a list of all the files stored in that dir.

On the contrary, when i type
file:///home/nigham/website_stuff
and website_stuff has an index.html file, it simply displays that index.html file.

i believe it has something to do with the filetypes. right click on an html document and choose edit filetype. click the embedding tab and make sure show file in seperate viewer is checked. in your services, you may see khtml in there. that's an embedded html viewer that opens up the webpage ala a webbrowser inside the konqueror's file manager profile.

Thanks, I tried that but all that does is open html documents in a separate folder. When the embedding option is set to separate viewer, konqueror doesn't even browse to that directory in any form - if i'm in the parent directory and i double click to enter the website directory, it simply stays at the parent directory.

hmmm... this is odd. in konqueror the file manager, go to View in the file menubar. make sure use index.html is not checked.

and then check your html filetype again. choose the default application you want to opne html files with by moving that application all the way to the top of the list or adding that application by clicking the add button and finding the app in the tree view mode of your kmenu and moving it to the top of the list.
