Description Antony Lee 2016-12-14 22:20:37 UTC

Currently, konsole offers /tmp and ~/.cache/konsole as possibilities for the scrollback file location.  It would seem that the normal place to put these is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR instead (i.e. /run/user/$UID), which is semantically correct, allows per-user segregation, and is usually mounted as tmpfs.

It looks like that would convert to QStandardPaths::RuntimeLocation - typically we want to use Qt.  At one time, I thought of allow the user to enter a path.

Allow user to enter location to store Konsole's scrollback files

Add a third option which allows the user to enter any folder to store
the scrollback files.
