Graphic snapshot of LISTS:
~/.local/share/konqueror/sessions AND File > Sessions
Since a (at least apparently) random instead of alphabetical (or user-defined) order makes it unnecessary difficult to use (i.e. to find the item of interst in a bigger list), I also looked for any way to arrange the list of sessions in a senseful manner. To my surprise, the (obviously non-alphanumeric) sort order does not reflect the creation nor modification date. Otherwise, I would have expected newly added entries or items "pseudo-modified" by "touch" to move to one end of the list, shouldn't I? The only file in each directory whose name corresponds to that of the session is usually (but not always) called "1" (although rarly names like "_1.41" or "_1.184" do occur). So the name of this subordinated file cannot be the deciding factor either. And finally I don't find anything in these files like an ID from which the sequence could be derived. So there even is no obvious workaround to bring the list into a reasonable form, even with increased effort. If you are not a developer, you won't be able to figure it out the source code either. CAN SOMEBODY GIVE A HINT ON HOW TO CHANGE THE SORT ORDER MANUALLY? The big and great solution of course would be a session editor, which would work similar to the bookmark editor. If this irritates you too, you may use the following script as a workaround solution (e.g. bound to a user-defined key combination), which presents sessions in alphabetical order instead of randomly for better picking. Aside from that, it has the pleasant side effect that you don't have to open a normal konqueror window first to start a session and close that afterwards again. (Earlier konqueror versions with profiles were much more ergonomic in this respect.) #!/bin/bash # Hint: does not work with session names containing spaces, # "ls --quoting-style=shell-always" and/or "ls -Q" won't help. # Workaround for this: use U+2000 (EN QUAD) # instead of U+0020 (SPACE) in session names ALPHABETICAL_SESSIONSLIST=$(ls ~/.local/share/konqueror/sessions/ | sed -r "s/(.*)/\1 \1/" | tr "\n" " ") SELECTED_SESSION=$(kdialog --geometry=400x800+2000+0 --menu "Select konqueror session:" $ALPHABETICAL_SESSIONSLIST) konqueror --open-session "$SELECTED_SESSION" |
