The link you find is for the development version of konsole(currently at 2.8.999). The git history shows that "--list-profile-properties" option was added in KDE SC 4.7(konsole 2.7.0). You can visit the following URL to see all available profile properties for the development version: http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kde-baseapps-apidocs/konsole/html/classKonsole_1_1Profile.html#a57848e15fe69d3f27565851fe7cda429 Maybe we should also add similar URL into the handbook so that users can find it easily. Maybe the real problem reflected in this report is KDE4 konsole does not have an actively updated changelog. That is generally due to lack of man power. I'm glad to hear that you like Konsole. But I don't follow the point of "reducing the association with KDE". Konsole is the terminal emulator for KDE, so the logical tendency is better integration with KDE instead of the opposite. I guess what you want to say is less dependencies. Konsole depends upon kdelibs and libkonq, which should have been on your system if you use any other KDE application. The only way to reduce dependencies further is to make Konsole a Qt-only application, but then it is no longer what Konsole is intended to be. Git commit d24e46e041b510c7f218a7c60e2bbd0b9b7c6ad4 by Jekyll Wu. Committed on 18/02/2012 at 12:45. Pushed by jekyllwu into branch 'master'. Add link to the API reference for the --list-profile-properties option That URL link contains detailed information for the meaning and possibile values of each property M +8 -2 doc/manual/index.docbook http://commits.kde.org/konsole/d24e46e041b510c7f218a7c60e2bbd0b9b7c6ad4 Well, there is not much thing we can or would like to do with old versions. Thank you for looking at this report. I have already seen in a later notice, that you have closed this report with a 'won't fix' because I was looking at an older version. I totally understand and support your decision. I will look at the documentation that you pointed me to. Please see my indented comments below. Jim A.

My point is that konsole is an 'application' that runs in the window manager. It should only be tied to the window manager through a generic interface (wrapper). An window management system that meets the generic interface should be able to run the application. Personally, I would like to be able to run konsole on any flavor of Unix and it would be nice to be able to run it on windows, a Mac or on Android. |
