Description Ismael Barros 2008-08-13 20:07:06 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)), Arch Linux)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-ARCH

In my shell profile I have activated "Start in same directory as current tab" (it was a default option), and it works in konsole, but it doesn't in yakuake: every new tab I open gets opened in ~/

Ressigning to Konsole (Yakuake embeds the Konsole KPart component).
Comment 4 Eike Hein 2008-08-13 20:22:08 UTC 
Robert: The background for this is that the KPart only starts a shell when TerminalInterface::showShellInDir() is called, which Yakuake currently does with 'KUser().homeDir()' as a reasonable default, thus inherently circumventing "Start in same directory as current tab". However, when called with QString::null/"", it doesn't work either, and that's about the only idea I had.

Of course, the underlying problem is figuring out the "current tab" in the KPart case. This might be related to #156919, which Yakuake needs to give an implementation of session management a shot anyway. If I can get the CWD out of a a given part, I can hand it to TerminalInterface::showShellInDir(), which leaves figuring out whether the profile has "Start in same directory as current tab" set. Alternatively this has to be solved inside the Konsole/KPart code.

Renamed for clarity. Confirming bug.
Comment 6 Christophe Marin 2008-08-13 23:02:06 UTC 
reassign to the product owner :)
Comment 7 Eike Hein 2008-08-14 15:44:39 UTC 
Yeah, that might indeed be useful to get Robert in the loop ;). Thanks Christophe.
