Bug 427874

Created attachment 132482 [details]
Attachment 1 [details]: Tab file before

I frequently use several external devices for video editing. To monitor them, I created a tab for ksysguard (see attachment 1 [details]).

When I open and close ksysguard, all sensors for devices that are currently not attached to the system get automatically erased from the tab file (see attachment 2 [details]).

In other words, there seems to be no way to create a tab containing sensors for devices that are not guaranteed to be present at all times (i.e. external/removable devices).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open ksysguard
1. Add tab from file (see attachment 1 [details])
2. Close ksysguard
3. Open imported tab file in editor, sensors for devices currently not present should now have been erased (similar to attachment 2 [details])

OBSERVED RESULT
Sensors for devices that are not present when ksysguard is opened/closed are erased automatically from the tab file.


EXPECTED RESULT
Sensors for devices that are not present when ksysguard is opened/closed should not be erased automatically, at least there should be a configuration option to toggle this.
