Description Alan Ezust 2010-04-09 05:52:55 UTC 
Version:           2.3.3 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

If I run konsole with --workdir switch from another app, it works fine as long as konsole is not already running.

If it is running, however, then the new konsole always has the same directory as the active tab of the current konsole (or so it seems).

Hello Alan,

this works for me in Konsole 2.4.3.

TESTCASE:
1. Konsole instance running, 3 tabs, current tab at /tmp
2. via Alt-F2: "konsole --workdir /usr/local"
3. A new konsole is opened, at /usr/local

Even when using "--new-tab" and opening the new konsole from a running konsole, it works as expected.

Can you verify this with a later Konsole version, please?
If it still is a problem, please provide a testcase.

it seems to be fixed now.
