eroica Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 hello, here's a simple one. When i drag url from Mozilla 1.5 to KDE desktop I dont get a url s/c on my desktop instead I get prompt to name text file that url will then go into. How can I make the dragging of url in Mozilla adress bar appear directly as a shortcut like u can do w/IE in Windows. Please no comments about the use of the W word in the forum... thanx, alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 if you want a web-shortcut on your desktop, just click with the right mouse button somewhere on the kde desktop and select: create new → data (i hope it is called this way in an english-mdk-version) → link to web (url).

VeeDubb Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 nope in the english version it's 'create new'>file>'link to location'. Of course, this is not as simple as in windows where you can drag and drop, but hey, it's a different OS. it does some things better, some things worse and most everything differently.

eroica Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 ok thanx it is a little more work then drag and drop but is better then the text file I was getting. I think that is one improvement that should be put on next iteration of Mozilla. How does one go about adding sugestions for features in Mozilla???thanx for the tip alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Go to www.mozilla.org. I believe there is a feedback section where tyou can make comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewski Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Double-check in KDE Control Centre that Mozilla is your default application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
