Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-08-20 12:34:04 UTC

Version:           1.6 (using KDE 3.4.90 (alpha1, >= 20050806), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.8-smp

Hi!

Hope that is no duplicate!

IMHO it should be possible to load previously saved profiles

I actually have no idea what I saved 1-2-3 years ago!

Actually I have to look in the filesystem to find out.

IMHO this is not very user friendly.

Comment 1 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-08-29 00:45:57 UTC

You are referring to Settings->Save Sessions Profile?  You can list all the profiles that Konsole can find  via:

konsole --profiles

Then to use a saved profile: konsole --profile abc

I'm not sure about allowing a running Konsole starting a new Konsole with a saved profile.

Comment 2 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-08-29 06:12:33 UTC

I tried 
 konsole --profiles
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-kdesvn/ksycoca
2shells
3shells
4shells
5shells

these are not my profiles

Comment 3 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-08-29 17:03:56 UTC

Please explain what you mean by 'saved profiles' then.... 

Are you talking about the profiles KDE saves when you exit KDE?  and then are used when you log back into KDE?

Comment 4 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-08-29 17:35:01 UTC

No
I German it is "Sitzungsprofile Speichern" english "save session profiles"

IMHO if I can save something  it should also be possilbe to "open/retrieve/delete/edit" it.

similar to konqueror profiles.

Comment 5 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-08-29 19:31:54 UTC

When you use 'Save Session Profiles' the file you name should show up when using % konsole --profiles

The profiles are saved in $KDEHOME/share/apps/konsole/profiles

For example save the current profile using the file z1
% ls $KDEHOME/share/apps/konsole/profiles
 z1          

% konsole --profiles
z1            

I agree it might be nice to be able to open/delete the profiles in Konsole.

Comment 6 Ferdinand Gassauer 2005-08-29 23:01:30 UTC

Hm!
Are you sure that we are still talking about a KDE-GUI ?

BTW the user profiles are saved in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/profiles.

(for some reason I have no $KDEHOME set so
ls $KDEHOME/share/apps/konsole/profiles returns 
/bin/ls: /share/apps/konsole/profiles: No such file or directory
)

obviously and luckilymany things can be done form the shell, but that was not my point.

Comment 8 Tristan Miller 2009-06-19 12:28:32 UTC

I think this bug no longer applies to KDE 4.  Profiles can be easily loaded and saved.

Comment 9 Kurt Hindenburg 2009-10-20 03:27:49 UTC

I agree w/ #8
