LinLog

I hit a small annoyance while setting up my KDE desktop on the new laptop. When opening a folder on my desktop, it opened in a new tab in an existing Konqueror window. However, I like the desktop folders to open in new windows.

You'd think this would be easy to set up. And it is - it's just a checkbox. The problem is finding it. It literally took me longer to find this setting than it did to configure my WiFi card. And WiFi is a pain on Linux and I don't know much about it, so that's saying something.

For the record, the setting is called "open as tabs in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally" and you can find it in the control center under Internet & Network -> Web Browser -> Web Behavior -> Advanced Options. Of course, this is a really stupid place to put the option because it is in no way restricted to web behavior. Heck, it affected me, and I don't even use Konqueror as my web browser. They really ought to move that to a more appropriate place.
