KDE Konversation Konqueror Problem[Solved]

[ua42_as5]

For some reason, Konqueror defaults to Kopete instead of Konversation for IRC links.

I've searched, but I haven't found an answer on the internet saying how to change the default irc protocol handler for Konqueror.

Could someone please help? Thank you.

If you go to "Kmenu -> System Settings -> Default Applications -> Instant Messenger", you can select your default IM client.

It only shows kopete, even though Konversation is installed.

Re: KDE Konversation Konqueror Problem

Does anyone know where the system settings stores the information about the deafult apps? I'm not (too) afraid of manually editing config files, if I knew which one to edit (and how).

Re: KDE Konversation Konqueror Problem(Solution Found!)

I found out how to fix the problem!

Description:
From what I can tell, Konquor uses the file /usr/share/services/irc.protocol to tell it what program to use for handling the irc protocol. To make Konversation the default, one just needs to edit the exec line to point to konversationircprotocolhandler.

[Protocol]
exec=/usr/bin/konversationircprotocolhandler %u
protocol=irc
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false
Icon=irc_normal
