Questions about Konqueror

[Centurian]

Hey,

I have started using Konqueror almost exclusively and I have a couple questions.
First let me point out I never keep even a single cookie on my system when I close out a browser. I don't keep any history or cache either.

Now under Konqueror I can clean out the cache and cookies easily enough by going into Settings/Configure Konqueror however that leaves a list of places I have been (over 3000 so far in my location bar) how do I empty it?

Second in the Go menu is this silly little menu item called Most Often Visited. How do I clear that out?

I really like Konqueror but I won't use any browser that will not let me remove the things I don't like.

Any help appreciated
Thanks

I have been using Konqueror for some time and am currently running v2.2.2 which I think is a little better than 2.2.1 but it still has those same issues. I resolved it on my system by doing this:

cd ~/.kde/share/config
cat /dev/null > konq_history
chmod 400 konq_history
cd ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror
cat /dev/null > konq_history
chmod 400 konq_history

And of course you could do the above graphically from within konqueror file manager.  I think those are the only two files...

Another thing I like about konq is you can disable the cache completely if you don't want anything cached.  You can also be very selective about where you want to use Java and JavaScript.  It can use the Netscape plugins but the plugin module needs some work.  I think in KDE 3.0 this looks to be much better.

Hey VoidMain,

Thanks for the tip. Much appreciated dude.

And Centurian, I have noticed that just because you press the "Clear Cache" button it doesn't necessarily clear the Cache. Clear your cache and then go look under "~/.kde/share/apps/kio_http/cache".  An easy one liner to clear everything out of all the cache directories is:

rm -f ~/.kde/share/apps/kio_http/cache/[0-z]/*

Hey VoidMain,

Thanks for all the tips. I setup a shell script now to handle everything except cookie's and certificates. If I could figure out where they are stored I would add them to the script also.    Anyway all I have to do is open my home directory and double click (yes I prefer double clicking, guess I got used to it    )the shell script and everthing is cleared in one operation.

Another couple of tips on running your script.  If you put your script in your ~/bin directory (if you don't have that directory just create it).  The ~/bin directory should be in your PATH.  Then you can just press "ALT+F2" if you are in KDE to bring up the "run box".  Enter your script name (clearkonq or whatever you named it) and press ENTER. It will run the script without opening a terminal or having to navigate to it.  You can also add a desktop ICON for it but I am sure you already knew that.
