Description Alexander 2012-10-23 06:41:21 UTC

Before, when I closed the last tab it simply open a new one. But now it also close the main window. I don't want it to be closed, I have a special button for that. And this is very annoying behavior.

I have Alt+Q shortcut to close the tab and this was very useful to clear current session and start a new one. Now it is absolutely unusable and cause a lot of movements before my eyes.

Would be cool if there will be a checkbox "Leave window opened after the last console session closed".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Please see attached video
Actual Results:  
Yakuake closes its window after closing last tab instead of just start a new console session (as it was before).

Expected Results:  
It should leave window opened since I didn't closed it manually. No need to guess user needs, simply do it optional instead.

Comment 3 Eike Hein 2012-10-23 18:44:47 UTC

I'll consider it.

Comment 4 Alexander 2012-10-23 19:03:48 UTC

Thank you! A checkbox to enable/disable it would be quite enough.

Comment 5 Eike Hein 2012-10-23 19:12:39 UTC

Yeah. Frankly I'm trying not to have too many options in there, so it's always a bit of a struggle to get myself to add another one, but I support I can see the use case where you want to clear away all the sessions but still aren't done with the window.

Hello Eike, I was just going to report the same thing.
I must agree with Alexander that this 'new' behaviour is very annoying. Please revert the changes and make it like before (when you close the last tab it should open a new tab instead of closing the window).

Regards.

Comment 7 Jason 2012-11-05 13:52:56 UTC

Yeah, having an option for this would be cool. This behaviour is really annoying.

Comment 8 Eike Hein 2012-11-05 13:58:16 UTC

Yeah, option is coming. Might do it today in fact, I got a raging migraine and it's not like my head is useful for anything non-trivial in the next few hours anyway. Sorry for oversharing ;).

Thanks a lot, Eike Hein! The above commit works fine. Yakuake is the best again..! -)

Comment 11 Vito De Tullio 2013-05-26 04:34:57 UTC

Thanks for the patch.
For what I understand, at the moment this option is available only in svn:trunk.
Are there some time line planned to a proper release with this option available?
Thanks.

Comment 12 Eike Hein 2013-05-26 19:20:07 UTC

It's actually in git master, not in SVN trunk (Yakuake has been moved to git.kde.org a long time ago).

The next release will include this option. There is currently no scheduled date for the next release.

Comment 13 Vito De Tullio 2015-12-12 14:05:59 UTC

Hi.
Is there a scheduling for a release? :)
