Hello,

One of problems with Konq is long standing wish to open new tab in existing Konq session from anywhere (at the moment it works only for current desktop).

Fortunately you can do it with dbus:

Code: Select all

qdbus `qdbus | grep konqueror` /konqueror/MainWindow_1 org.kde.Konqueror.MainWindow.newTab  0


Thanks a lot, I was looking for this and shocked when found no dcop at new KDE4, but this returns "wrong number of arguments"; it should be

Code: Select all

qdbus `qdbus | grep konqueror` /konqueror/MainWindow_1 org.kde.Konqueror.MainWindow.newTab <url-you-want-to-open> False

at least for KDE 4.2.4, as parameters are URL (qstring) and tempFile (bool)

By the way, anyone knows what this tempFile is used for?


Also, this will fail if found more than one konqueror window, so you could use

Code: Select all

qdbus `qdbus | grep -m1 konqueror` /konqueror/MainWindow_1 org.kde.Konqueror.MainWindow.newTab '' False

to get only the first one.

Hi,

By the way, anyone knows what this tempFile is used for?

If tempFile is true, file is removed on tab close.

Try:

Code: Select all

echo Hello > /tmp/hello
qdbus `qdbus | grep -m1 konqueror` /konqueror/MainWindow_1 org.kde.Konqueror.MainWindow.newTab '/tmp/hello' True
