Description Raphael Kubo da Costa 2012-02-03 18:08:34 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                FreeBSD

It looks like git commit 56f3805ac1d5c9b884865dd448c0fa88794b0f54 has moved the tab settings (position, where a new tab should be opened etc) from profiles to the global settings.

However, currently all settings seem to be reset to the defaults instead of being migrated, causing some confusion (I only understood what had happened after looking at the commit log).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Upgrade konsole to the mentioned git revision.

Actual Results:  
The tab settings are lost and reset to the default values.

Expected Results:  
Either the settings are automatically migrated via kconf_update (if there's a single profile) or Konsole asks the user what to do with the old data.

Sorry for the trouble caused by those commits.

I agree such automatically migration is nice and needed. I have written a simple and stupid script for the kconf_update framework after reading this report and it seems to work. However, I prefer to delay the introduction of such script, since we are still in the early stage of the 4.9 cycle and those global options might change. 

Thanks for your suggestion.
