Description Ilya Konstantinov 2003-06-27 14:13:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Currently it's impossible to delete a Konsole session installed on the system level, assumingly because I don't have, as a user, the file permissions to do so. It would be handy, then, to have a checkbox near each session indicating whether I want to see it on the menu. There's no need to clutter the user's Sessions menu with sessions he never uses.

Comment 1 Stephan Binner 2003-08-27 23:36:04 UTC

Possible without GUI: Create .desktop files with same name as the session 
defintions in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole with entry "[Desktop Entry] 
Hidden=true".

Comment 2 Ilya Konstantinov 2003-08-28 20:42:12 UTC

Thanks for the tip.
As to my GUI suggestion, I think there should be a "Show system-wide sessions in
the menu" option in the menu. My previous suggestion makes the GUI unnecessarily
specific and cluttered.

Comment 4 Justin Sheckler 2006-08-02 17:20:03 UTC

My suggestion: copy the default session files from the system dir to the user's .kde dir the first time Konsole is used.  Then the user can delete whatever s/he wants.

No changes to GUI or configuration necessary.

Comment 5 John B 2006-12-06 17:32:29 UTC

Justin: be careful with that...it means that the users don't benefit from any new session files that get created in the system directory

Comment 6 Marcin Kasperski 2006-12-06 17:45:28 UTC

I think, that the best solution would be to give people option of 'deleting' unnecessary session. What can be internally handled by Hidden=True trick if necessary.

Comment 7 Robert Knight 2007-02-10 04:20:43 UTC

Sensible suggestion.

Comment 8 Robert Knight 2007-05-08 00:44:25 UTC

Implemented in KDE 4, profiles to show in the File menu can be chosen by marking/unmarking them with a star.
