Version: 1.3 Beta (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk) OS: Linux CVS HEAD 28 October 2003 new user (i. no previous konsolerc file in ~/.kde/share/config) In the Settings Menu, Configure Konsole, in the Schema tab, in Schema, when you chooose another schema and click the Apply Button, the new schema is NOT applied. It is still NOT applied when clicking on OK. You have to go to the Settings -> Schema menu to change the schema. As a user, I expect the new schema to be applied when I go in Configure Konsole -> Schema Tab
The schema editor is not intended to change your current schema. Changes to your current used schema are applied fine here.
I can confirm what Stephan Binner reports, but I think the usability is a bit questionable, I think that if you select another schema in [Settings->Configure Konsole...->Schema] that this schema should be applied to the current console immediately (it would be the most logical thing to happen, IMHO).
I just had a user complaining about the Schema tab: he thought it would set his current schema. If the dialog is going to remain the same, is it then possible to rename the tab to "Edit Schemas"? (And the "Session" tab to "Edit Session Types"?)
I hope to redo the settings dialog for KDE 4. It has some major shortcomings from a usability perspective.
Settings dialogs completely replaced in KDE 4, solves the aforementioned usability problem.
