dup of bug #165495 actually the bug 165495 is the invalid one reopen this one Hi Bráulio, the behaviour you described as a bug is actually intentional. Instantaneous saving of every operation would cause lots of disc access and would also be bad for battery life on mobile devices. I'm not a developer, so you might search the mailinglist archives (https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/panel-devel) for a better explanation of why the current behaviour is desirable. This issue has been discussed before. michael Hello Michael, I agree that it shouldn't be saved every you change something for power effiency reasons as you said, but I think it should be saved only on session exit. I don't know, maybe a delayed save would do it. Couldn't find anything about it on panel-devel archives... bráulio > I don't know, maybe a delayed save would do it that's what plasma does. > like add, remove, move, rotate, etc, we request a sync add and remove, i don't think we do so for move and rotate, however. if there are any problems with this, it would be specific settings either not requesting a sync or specific settings not getting written out to the config prior to sync. the general issue is addressed, however, and keeping a general report open to hunt specific issues makes it impossible to close this one ever (because other specific issues may arise). I do not see plasma saving layout/config in KDE 4.2 beta1. I have a crash several hours after adjusting/configuring Plasma and loose everything :-P Also, loose the settings in logout. Using ubuntu packages. Is this an expected behavior for beta? I have the same bug in KDE 4.2, Plasma ONLY save on logout. If plasma crash before I logout, even if the modification have been made a few days ago, the move/resize/added/removed plasmoids are lost. Having a save at each 2 min or just after a delay of 60 second after the changes to make sure multiple moves or resizes are saved in one shot to save disk IO. A temporary workaround would be to have a command to force plasma to save it's configs. Is there such a command ? dbus-send --dest=org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession Source: http://hack.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?action=profile;u=14;sa=showPosts |
