Description Gennady Uraltsev 2016-04-10 09:52:45 UTC

I have Krusader set up to remember position and tabs. Its config file is in ~/.kde4/config/krusaderrc . If one leaves it like that everything works fine.

However if actually ~/.kde4/config/krusaderrc is a symbolic link to another file everything works kind of fine except one thing: If you have several tabs open then on exit krusader successfully saves the information relative to them (current path, history, etc.). However if you then close the tabs krusader, when writing the info about the tabs in krusaderrc corrupts the entries.

/home/guraltsev/.kde4/share/config/krusaderrc points to /home/guraltsev/.home/.kde4/share/config/krusaderrc

(I use this setup because in .home I keep the config files I choose to sync between pc's while the other ones are system local).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that $HOME/.kde4/shar/config/krusaderrc is a symbolic link to some other file
2. Make sure "Save last position, size and panel settings is enabled.
3. Open several tabs, go to some path, exit
4. The file $HOME/.kde4/shar/config/krusaderrc ( more precisely the file pointed to) is in a consistent state and Krusader restores the tabs correctly when opening
5. Open Krusader and close some of the tabs; close Krusader.
6. Reopen Krusader: the tabs that were closed were not removed and get restored but at a generic "/" path and with no history or anything else.
7. See that $HOME/.kde4/shar/config/krusaderrc has corrupt sections relative to the extra tabs.

Actual Results:
Closed Tabs do not get removed from $HOME/.kde4/shar/config/krusaderrc but their entries get corrupted. They reappear next time you start Krusader.

Expected Results:
Closed Tabs get removed from $HOME/.kde4/shar/config/krusaderrc and do not appear next time you start Krusader.

Cannot reproduce on a newer version. Also, the default config dir now is $HOME/.config. Can you confirm the bug is still there?
