Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux While developing KMyMoney I've noticed that the '--config' KApplication option does not work as expected. The default configuration file (constructed base on the application name) is always used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I'll take kdesvn as an example but any KDE application can be used $ ls -al ~/.kde4/share/config/kdesvn* # check the last modifcation time of the rc file $ kdesvn --config kdesvntestrc # change some config stuff and close the application $ ls -al ~/.kde4/share/config/kdesvn* Actual Results: After running the last command observe that: 1. there is no kdesvntestrc config file 2. kdesvnrc was the config file that was actually changed Expected Results: 1. a new 'kdesvntestrc' file should have been created 2. kdesvnrc should not have been changed
