Description Urs Wolfer 2008-01-12 22:17:42 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

As title says, scrollback options are not saved after Konsole quit. If I start up a new instance of Konsole, I have to set the scrollback option again (e.g. "Unlimited scrollback").

This is expected behaviour.  If you want to make permanent changes go to Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Scrollback.

The Scrollback Options dialog is there if you wish to make temporary changes.  For example, 2000 lines might usually be sufficient, but if you wish to begin a long compilation and record all output, then you would temporarily change the setting to "Unlimited Scrollback".
Comment 2 Urs Wolfer 2008-01-12 23:57:48 UTC
Ok, I see. A notice in the scrollback dialog about this behavior would be nice indeed. :)

Agreed.  Or perhaps a "Remember this setting" checkbox which saves the change to the current profile (as if the Edit Current Profile dialog had been used).

When I set the scrollback to unlimited, save the session as "def" and start kopete with "--profile def" the scrollback stays at "unlimited". So that's fine.

I used to start konsole with --nomenubar. But when I use "--profile def" this option is being ignored. 

So I hid the menubar from the menu and then wanted to save the profile. But that's quite impossible without the menu. :)

1.  Go to Settings -> Manage Profiles
2.  Click the profile you want to edit and click "Edit"
3.  Untick the "Show menu bar in new windows" option on the first page
4.  Click OK.

If you already have a tab open using the profile you want to change, then just right click in the terminal area and select "Edit Current Profile" to bring up the dialog.
