Howto configure KDE to always open new windows?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all!

My devel machine at work is running F17 and KDE. There are lots of little things about KDE that bug me, but this one is driving me batty.

I keep 12 workspaces open. Yes, 12 -- it works for me. At any time, I'll have multiple instances (or at least multiple windows) open, spread around the various workspaces. For example, I might have 3 or 4 kate windows open in various workspaces, each editing groups of files relevant to what I'm doing with that workspace.

Now, if I open a new file from, for example, Dolphin, the system picks one of the existing kate windows and opens the file in that. The problem is that I never want that to happen. It's especially aggravating when the window that opens the file is not even in the same workspace that I'm viewing when I select the file.

This also happens when I click links in emails. They always open in a (randomly? chosen) browser window even if that browser window is not in my current workspace.

Is there a way to configure KDE to always open files or links in a new window? In the current workspace? It would be nice if there were some universal setting for this behavior, but I'll settle for just a way to make files opened in Dolphin always appear in a new window.
