Description Andrea Garbarini 2006-01-24 10:11:16 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

when clearing konqueror's browse history through the kcontrol module, previously visited http locations will no longer be displayed in the location bar, and this is the way it is intended to work =) problem is, when you log back in, they are displayed again, in fact all sensible data is still stored in ~/.kde/share/config/konq_history

i had the very same problem in suse 10.0, hence I don't think this is distro related

have a nice day
andrea

Using "clear history" in settings->configure konq -> history sidebar empties konq_history here. What setting did you use in kcontrol?

Comment 2 Katarina Erkkonen 2006-09-24 19:21:27 UTC

I'm experiencing the same thing. Both when trying to erase it from Control Center --> clean up (clears everything except the konq_history file) and also through Konqueror itself (History sidebar --> clear History). When clearing it in Konqueror it seems to be gone, but if I start a new one/another one, all of  the history is left.

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.
