Konqueror bookmarkbar

I use Konqueror as a webbrowser, if a site does not support it due to their stupid scripts, I try to change the user agent for that site (yes, that is you: http://www.elsevier.nl/ for example) and everything works fine.

I have only one request: I always want to have to bookmark toolbar. So whatever happens I want it visible. Now it randomly turned off when opening a new window. I see this behaviour on two kubuntu machine’s, but I’m not sure it related to kubuntu. Anyone an idea?

RSIBreak 0.7.0 is almost ready. So is a new release of the kipi-plugins. More on that soon.

    I also experience the “hiding bookmarkbar” problem on my Kubuntu.

    But I’m pretty sure that it’s really an issue with Dapper: as far as I remember, it didn’t happen with KDE 3.5 on Kubuntu Breezy. (My memory is pretty bad though, but it should last for those 2 months in this case.)

    Yeah, and I really should try out RSIBreak, otherwise that injury will find its next victim soon ;)

    I have the opposite problem: I don’t want the bar but it randomly turns on. dapper also.

    I also experienced this in Dapper. The bookmark toolbar doesn’t stay visible whenever I open a new window or when I restart KDE. I was able to find a solution, although I don’t know if it’s the right way to do it:

    In ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/, the konq-kubuntu.rc contains a line like this (excluded the greater/less than signs)

    ToolBar newline=”true” noEdit=”true” hidden=”true” iconText=”icontextright” name=”bookmarkToolBar” fullWidth=”true”

    I simply changed the hidden=”true” to hidden=”false”.

    Hope that helps.

    I see it under /usr/share/ in kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/apps/konqueror/konq-kubuntu.rc

    Let me see if it fixes it….

    Maybe saving profile can help. After enabling bookmarks bar go to Settings/Save profile…

    No, that did not help…

    This solves the problem. Thanks!
