Hi,
Since the Konqueror option 'Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is
called externally' does not work with Ion, since Konqueror can't find its own
instance in Ion properly I wrote this small script which helps to fulfill the
wanted behavior:
-----------------
> cat bin/open_in_new_tab.sh
#! /usr/bin/env sh
FIRST_KONQ=`dcop 'konqueror-*' | head -n 1`
if [ ! -z "$FIRST_KONQ" ]; then
dcop $FIRST_KONQ konqueror-mainwindow\#1 newTab "$1"
else
konqueror "$1" &
fi
---------------------
If you then change 'Web browser' in kontrol->KDE components->Component chooser
to the script (after making it executable), you can open a link from KMail
for example in the first existing konqueror window.
It worked for me for some time now, but it might have problems with hidden
preloaded instances, then a call to:
dcop $FIRST_KONQ konqueror-mainwindow\#1 show
should help after the line of creating a new tab
hope this is helpfull for some KDE folks here,
