Description Ralf Jung 2011-09-26 20:38:00 UTC

Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

The configuration for the editor should be stored on a per-session basis, for example to deal with different indention guidelines for different projects.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create two sessions, change the indention configuration in one, then switch to the other.

Actual Results:  
The changed indention also applies here.

Expected Results:  
Indention (and all the other editor settings) should be stored on a per-session basis.

Hello,
I would put this configuration into project configuration.

My reasoning is that with session settings you may ope 2 projects with different required settings in the same session and you will fight your own editor, all the same as now.
I also use Eclipse which stores all configuration per workspace and it is a nightmare to manage multiple workspaces (need to remember to sync configuration..).
So it is best in my opinion to put more option into project configuration.

Best regards,
Jura

One more thing,
You can try to use EditorConfig (.editorconfig) files in your project/directories and the ktexteditor can honor that.
> Preferences > Editor > Open/Save > Advanced > [x] Honour settings in .editorconfig
Is probably what you are looking for (to set indentation) per project
