Description F Reifenstahl 2005-12-08 18:14:18 UTC 
Version:           2.5.0 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.7-default

If one enters something wrong (e.g. misspelling a command or a command that doesn't fit with the script field) to the "executable file" entry, after saying "ok" the whole external tool definition has vanished and one has to do the work again.

Comment 3 Christoph Cullmann 2011-08-09 16:21:06 UTC 
External Tools is removed for 4.8, lack of maintainer, closing bugs, asking for somebody to step up, all bugs to look at listed there for archiving.

Comment 4 Dominik Haumann 2019-09-17 18:27:53 UTC 
The external tools plugin will be back for the Applications 19.12 release. The behavior described in this report should be fixed.
