Hi Alex,

I've you read this comment aybe you've got some time to give me an idea of what Konqueror might be able to considering profiles int hte near future.

I'd especially like to know if a clean seperation between file-management and webbrowsing is possible. I think is is necessary because the needs of both are rather different when you look a the details.

I actually like the simplified browser profile for web-browsing there's a lot of stuff on konqueror's toolbars and menus that shouldn't be there in the first place and some more that's mostly only useful for file management (Open Terminal, Search Files...).

One good example in file-management mode is the google search bar - this is really annoying, especially with the new location of the adress bar - who needs the (internet) google search bar in their file manager?

Ok anyway, I think there can be a lot of simplification and tidying up done without removing Konqueror features from a somewhat obvious / clickable position.
I did some mockups and stuff, but really lack the expertize to do much more (I tried...)

One example that is a bit more work:

What about not removing the the 'profiles' feature completely from the Konqui GUI, but to make it simpelr - like it should have been from the beginning.

Right now you have three entries under settings about the profiles:
Load Profile
Save Profile
Manage Profiles

You can already save proviles within the "manage profiles" dialog. All that is to be done is to have "load profile" there as well. And bang - two more entries can go without using gui functionality.

There still can be even more simpler profiles as defaults, but with a little more work we all could have a) a very clean full-featured konqui b) an even simpler and easier profile and c) easy switching between both.

So actually the question is if Konqueror could handly a clean seperation between web- and file-mode for this.

Any ideas?
