Version: 2.5 (using Devel) OS: Linux i was really used to change profiles using Settings->Change profile->profile_name now i have Konsole 2.5 - 4.4.95 (KDE 4.4.95 (KDE 4.5 >= 20100723)) why was that removed? it even helped me with ncurses applications via `screen` -> after changing the profile, the window somehow resetted, and i was able to use the mouse wheel exactly as if the application was just in the konsole window, no `screen`. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: please add (back) the live profile switcher, it highly useful. OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.12-0.2-default Compiler: gcc
It's a regression. You can change the profile by right clicking on konsole as a workaround.
Why have you closed this bug?
i thought regression means "step back" in this context, ... so noone thinks its useful and will fix it... i missed the note about major=1 ... sorry
It was remove when the menu restructure happened.

(In reply to comment #1) > It's a regression. > > You can change the profile by right clicking on konsole as a workaround. No you can not! Try using vim with mouse enabled and change profile with right click. It is impossible, so you have to turn off the mouse on option, change profile and enable it again.
It is easy to re-add. But I think there are 2 issues to consider: 1). Should it still be put under 'Settings'? It is a temporary operation which is applied only to current session. However, putting it under 'Edit' or 'View' do not sounds any better. 2). Should it really be named as 'Change profile'? That 'Change' might be misunderstood as 'Modify'. I think 'Switch Profile' or something similar is clearer.
1) i guess View should be OK - most of the profile switching is about how can you see the terminal. i does not change the environment so much. however, in profile settings could be some option like "switch to this profile now" 2) `switch` is perfect for me (but i use CZ locale...)

Refine the 'Change profile' action. - Rename it into 'Switch Profile' to avoid potential confusion. - Also put it under the 'Settings' menu.
