Description Sebastian Stein 2005-02-11 18:25:14 UTC
Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.29

I tried to clear the URL history through the settings dialog of konqueror. But after restarting konqueror the history is back again. It is possible to clear the history completely by right clicking on the URL edit field and choosing the action from the right click menu. Even after a restart the history is still gone as expected.

Are you talking about the history sidebar or the history ot the URL combo edit box?

Ok, and about what "settings dialog of konqueror" are you talking? I'm not aware of any which deletes the URL combo edit box.

Under Konqueror settings -> "Verlaufsbereich" -> Verlaufsspeicher leeren and
under -> Zwischenspeicher -> Zwischenspeicher leeren. I think one of both
is meant to delete the URL history, propably the first. Sorry, I don't know
the English names, but I bet you know what I mean :-)

No, none is meant. First is "History Sidebar" in English and the other "Cache".

Ok, and how to delete the URL cache besides right-clicking? This action
should also be available through menus from an usability point of view.

If it's not included in the "Privacy" (don't ask me for the for sure horrible translation) control center module, file a wish against it (kcontrol/kcmprivacy).
Comment 8 Thomas Reitelbach 2005-12-21 18:03:07 UTC
If there is a option to clear the history sidepane in the konqueror settings dialog, then it will definitely confuse the casual user if this does not clear the history in the URL combo box as well!

Please consider to either add the function to the same button which clears the history sidepane, or add another button near the current "clear history" button which has the function to clear the URL combo box (with it's corresponding history when dropped down.).

The current behaviour is a usability bug and should be fixed -> i reopen this bug.

SVN commit 588187 by kling:

Connect to KonqHistoryManager's cleared() signal.
Makes "Clear History" wipe the location bar history permanently instead of just in open Konqueror windows.
