Just to be complete for anyone who finds this later while trying to solve the
same problem, that is actually:
  konqueror | Settings | Configure Konqueror | File Associations | inode |
directory

Amazing!!

How did anyone ever discover that?

I have been using KDE/TDE since 2001, with konqueror as my file manager in all
that time, and this was news to me (unless I knew long ago and completely
forgot it, which is, I have to admit, unfortunately, a possibility).

All seems to work. Perfect! Made my day :-)

Yes, I sort-of-vaguely understand how profiles work. Although since all I ever
really use konqueror for is managing files, I generally don't have to mess
with them. But thank you for the reminder.

Fortunately, it failed to self-destruct, so I had time to read it a couple of
times :-) I even had time to tag it red in Thunderbird, in case I ever need to
look up how to do this.
