Description goo 2013-01-14 00:31:41 UTC 
Currently yakuake laks the ability to open a new tab with a specific profile, as it is possible to do on konsole.

Actually yakuake has the ability to switch the current session to a different profile but that doesn't expose all the profile's capabilities, i.e. preventing the user to open a new session with a specific command. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new profile with a specific Command in General Section, i.e. "ssh root@server".
2. Open a new session and than switch to that profile.

Actual Results:  
The session with the switched profile doesn't honor the command specified in the profile.


Expected Results:  
The session should have opened the command specified in the profile configuration.


Maybe honoring the "Command" specified in the profile is only possible if yakuake will let the user create a new session with a specific profile. 
The lack thereof limits the use of additional profiles.

This currently isn't possible because the Konsole KPart component which Yakuake embeds does not support enumerating profiles, nor instanciating the KPart with a particular profile. I've been in talks with the Konsole maintainer about addressing this, but so far we haven't implemented a solution. Rest assured though that it's in the plans.

I'm CC'ing him here but keeping this report assigned to Yakuake because once Konsole provides the necessary APIs Yakuake still needs UI work to use them.
