Version: (using KDE 4.0.4) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Description of problem: The title bar text does not match the Tab title format. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 9, KDE 4.0.4-2.fc9.i386, Konsole 2.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set (or leave default) Tab tile format to "%d : %n" 2. cd to /usr/bin Actual results: Title bar reads "usr/b : bash" Expected results: bin : bash Additional info: No all directories are displayed wrongly. Most of the short ones (e.g. /tmp, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, /lib) are wrong, but NOT /usr. Longer names are displayed properly. If instead "%D : %n" is used, the result is good.
Hello, This is a 'feature' rather than a bug. The reason is that folder names such as "bin","lib","tmp" etc. are very common which makes it difficult to tell multiple tabs apart from their title. When these names are encountered in the directory path they are shortened to a single letter and the name of the preceding directory is added. So supposed you have 3 tabs open: /usr/bin , ...myproject/bin, myproject/src, anotherproject/src Ordinarily they would be shortened to: bin : <prog> , bin : <prog> , src : <prog> , src : <prog> Which would make the tabs difficult to tell apart. Instead the result is: /usr/b : <prog> , myproject/b : <prog> , myproject/s : <prog> , anotherproject/s : <prog> If there are multiple "common names" in a path then they are successively shortened until the first 'uncommon' name is encountered. There is a hidden config setting, "CommonDirNames" which can be set in .kde/share/config/konsolerc to control which directory names are shortened in this fashion.
