Description Han Holl 2008-05-26 15:35:21 UTC

Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

In kde3 konsole had a session menu with a button to the left of the session tabs.
This seems to have gone in kde4.
I loved this feature, because my sessions are dynamic: some other process adds/removes
.desktop files to/from /home/han/.kde/share/apps/konsole/.
Seems a pity that in cleaning up a bad settings interface, useful features end up being
sacrificed.

The development version of Konsole contains a profile option to re-enable the "New Tab" and "Close Tab" buttons on the tab bar. The "New Tab" button has a delayed popup that allows profile selection. Profiles are not a direct analogue to Konsole/3's session functionality, but that wish is tracked elsewhere (bug #152761), and if re-implemented, the aforementioned UI would presumably continue to do serve your need as it has in the past. The buttons will be in KDE 4.1 to be released this July.

Yes they are.  That bug report refers to 'session' as in "KDE session" which is a different thing altogether.

Sorry, I got it mixed up with Konsole/3's ability to serialize and restore a set of tabs.

duplicate tracking please :-). If this isn't a duplicate of bug 157015, then I'm unconvinced it should have been closed.
