Description mAhdi 2013-07-05 12:01:03 UTC

1. "Settings" - "Configure"
2. "General"
3. Under "Terminal" specify e.g. path to sakura, lxterminal, qterminal etc and apply

Observed:
Terminal still uses konsole

4. Remove konsole from system

Observed:
Prompt appears that konsole is required.

Why is there such setting when it's not taken into account? Could it be made that it works with other terminals?

Comment 1 Alex Bikadorov 2016-12-31 16:17:22 UTC

I assume you are referring to the embedded terminal emulator (shown at the bottom inside Krusader)? The setting is only for the external terminal (e.g. started F9).

The embedded terminal must be Konsole, its a KDE widget.

But to avoid confusion we should rename "terminal emulator" to "embedded terminal" everywhere(?)

Comment 2 mAhdi 2016-12-31 16:32:39 UTC

I'm not using KDE for years now ... so just from my memories - as far as I remember there is way similar to midnight commander to switch between pane-navigation and terminal (I had it setup to be full-screen inside krusader, so either full-screen two panes or CTRL+O and full-screen terminal). Yes, I was expecting changing terminal would affect what was shown in this "internal" mode. Altering terminology would solve this confusion.

Comment 3 mAhdi 2016-12-31 16:43:25 UTC

Though I recall now one of the reasons for this was I got rid of KDE in favor of LXDE and wanted to keep Krusader without all KDE bloated stuff and this was one of the blocking things then so I had to move to elsewhere, not sure how today.

cheers

Comment 4 Alex Bikadorov 2016-12-31 17:15:35 UTC

Krusaser *should* run fine without KDE (with installed KF5 libs). But as I said, for the embedded terminal Konsole is the only possibility.

Comment 5 mAhdi 2016-12-31 18:19:08 UTC

Yep, the case is 3.5 half years old :) ... so it was situation then when I did this.
