KDE4 Bookmarks
see http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/File_Management#File_System_Navigation
In KDE4, there is the distinction between (Internet-)Bookmarks and (File-)Places.
Unfortunally, at least in KDE-4.3.1 they don't integrate very well.
Typ | file | used by |
Places | share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml and .local/share/user-places.xbel | KDE4 file open and save dialogs |
File bookmarks | share/apps/kfile/bookmarks.xml | KDE4 file open and save dialogs (if enabled) |
Konqueror bookmarks | share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml | Konqueror |
To use the file places or file bookmarks with Konqueror, the File Open dialog must be used. They are not visible as Konqueror Bookmarks. This is confusing.
System Global Bookmarks (Places)
Desktop bookmarks are specified by freedesktop.org in http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec
Unfortunately this is only partly implemented in KDE 4.3.1.
More precisely, reading global bookmarks from $XDG_DATA_DIR/desktop-bookmarks/*.xbel
is not supported.
Also /usr/share/kde4/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml
, /etc/xdg/places.xbel
, /etc/xdg/system-places.xbel
and /etc/xdg/user-places.xbel
are ignored.
If this functionality should be added, the file seems to be to correct place: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kfile/kfileplacessharedbookmarks.cpp?view=markup (http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kfile/html/kfileplacessharedbookmarks_8cpp.html)
Therefore there is currently not mechanism for system global bookmarks.
