Using those plugins, web sites +can contain PDF files, flash animations, video, &etc; +With &konqueror;, you can still use these plugins to take advantage of +rich web content. + +&Netscape; plugins should not be confused with &konqueror; +plugins. The latter ones specifically extend &konqueror;'s +functionality; they are normally not used to display rich web +content. + + + + +Scan + +&konqueror; has to know where your &Netscape; plugins are +installed. This can be in several places, &ie; you might have +system-wide plugins in /opt/netscape/plugins and your personal +plugins in $HOME/.netscape/plugins. +However, &konqueror; will not automatically use the installed plugins: +it first has to scan a list of folders. You can initiate the scan +by clicking Scan for new plugins. Alternatively, +you can enable Scan for new plugins at &tde; startup +so &konqueror; will scan the appropriate folders every time &tde; +starts up, to see whether new plugins have been installed. + +Enabling Scan for new plugins at &tde; +startup can considerably slow down the startup procedure, +and is known to give difficulty on certain installations. Turn this +option off if you experience problems. + +To find plugins, &konqueror; will look in the folders +specified in the Scan Folders frame. When you +use this control module for the first time, this list will already be +filled with reasonable paths that should work on most operating systems. +If you need to provide a new path, click the New +button; then you can either enter the new path in the text edit box to +the left, or choose a folder using the file dialog by clicking the +New... button. As scanning the folders can take +a little time, you might want to remove folders from the list where +you know that no plugins are installed: do this by selecting a folder +and clicking Remove. Using the +Up and Down buttons you +can change the order in which folders will be scanned by moving the +selected folder up or down. + +As usual, click Apply to save your changes +permanently. + + + + +Plugins + +In this tab, you can see a list of the &Netscape; plugins found by +&konqueror;, displayed as a tree. Double click on a plugin to fold it +out and you'll see that the different mime types this plugin can handle +will be displayed as branches. Fold out a mime type to see its +info. + +This tab is mostly for informational purposes. The only +configurable option is Use artsdsp to pipe plugin sound +through aRts, which is enabled by default. Disable this if +you wish plugins to use their own method for sounds, and you have +configured &arts; in such a way that third-party applications can do +so (for example, by having it exit when idle, or by having it use a +custom sound device on modern soundcards which allow this.) + + + + +Section Author + +This section written by: Jost Schenck +jost@schenck.de + + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
