Links outside Konqueror open a new instance and not a new tab

[mcz]

I configured Konqueror to open links from other application in the same opened fenster in a new tab.
But clicking on an external link open a new instance af Konqueror.
That happens with KDE-3.5.5 and Edgy, not with the same version on Dapper.
(amd64, Ubuntu-Edgy, KDE-3.5.5 from Edgy repository).

Where have you configured this?

[mcz (eschmit)]

In the konqueror's web-menu: 'open links on new tabs' and all the advanced options are on.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

The option "Open links in new tab instead of in new window" refers to links inside Konqueror only.

So you did not "configure Konqueror to open links ___from other applications___ in the same opened window in a new tab."

I cannot confirm that this has been the case with Dapper either.

From which application are you opening the link? It's probably an application setting then maybe and/or you've configured something else differently on your Dapper install.

Oh.. I've not seen the "Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally". I have not checked this here.

Now that I've checked/enabled it here, it works for links from Akregator for example. The link gets opened in the (probably oldest) Konqueror instance I've open.

So, sorry for misunderstanding, but finally I cannot confirm it here - using Edgy, dist-upgraded from Dapper.

O.K., but what can I do?
I tried it normally from knewsticker.
The configuration file ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc shows:
...
KonquerorTabforExternalURL=true
MMBOpensTab=true
NewTabsInFront=false
OpenAfterCurrentPage=true
PermanentCloseButton=true
PopupsWithinTabs=true
...
but it doesn't work.

It also works as expected here from knewsticker.

Sorry, I've no idea how to debug this further..

[mcz (eschmit)]

Solved!
I replace ~/.kde/config/kdeglobalsrc with a new one and now it works as aspected.
Thank you.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Do you mean ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals instead? I have not the file you have.

Additional, it would be useful to have a diff of the old and new one.

Have you installed Kubuntu anew or upgraded from Dapper?
