Description Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-08-30 05:19:47 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                FreeBSD
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Currently, Konsole tries to read from /proc/PID-NUMBER/cwd in order to obtain information such as Current Directory and Program Name that is used, for example, in its tabs.

However, systems such as FreeBSD (and Windows, I guess) don't have such information available, so by default I get " : " as my tab names in Konsole.

A small amount of platform-specific code does need to be written to support this feature, including detecting whether the needed information it is available or not.  I have received and integrated patches for Solaris so far.  Patches to add support for BSD would be welcome at reviewboard.kde.org

Windows is not yet a supported platform for Konsole - the state of that is as I understand it very much work in progress.
