Hi, I re-installed kdebase-nsplugins and Konqueror works and recognizes Netscape plugins (Flash, Real and Java - although I have problems with Java). The strange thing is that when I look at the Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Konqueror Browser -> Netscape Plugins menu, I see a list of hundreds of plugins (no I'm not exaggerating - there are nearly 300). In fact, there are only the three I mentioned, but each appears many many times in the list.
The Konqueror Help says: > Scan > >This page lets you make KDE scan for new Netscape� plugins, either manually by >pressing the Scan for new plugins button or automatically each time KDE starts >up. > >The scan is done by looking through the directories listed in the Scan >Directories list for .so files containing plugin code. It examines every such >file to find out which MIME types the plugin supports. It then creates MIME >type definitions for KDE in the user's ~/.kde/share/mimelnk directory to make >other applications aware of the new mime types. > > Plugins > >This page shows you the Netscape� plugins that KDE has found, and for each >plugin it lists the MIME types and the filename suffixes it uses to recognise >them. I looked in the ~/.kde/share/mimelnk and found only 27 items - including various mime types. So what are the hundreds of repetitions I see in the Preferences->Web Browsing->Netscape Plugins menu? And could this be somehow connected to the Konqueror problems I had yesterday? //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 30-Jan-2002 Time: 16:18:54 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 8.1 machine //------------------------- ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
