Version: 2.3.2 (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux I have been trying to set the name of my tabs to fixed names. One would think that typing in a name with no tokens would fix the name of the tab. But this is not the case. The konsole resets the name of the tabs according to it's own liking, and one which I have yet to figure out. In the documentation, I would like to see a statement describing the behavior for naming a tab when the 'Tab title format' is left blank, or when a fixed set of characters is entered, i.e. with no tokens present. I would also like to see a statement added describing how to set the name of a tab to a fixed name. Jim Anderson Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: - select the 'settings' tab in Konsole - select 'Edit the current profile' - in 'Edit the Current Profile', select the 'tabs' menu - in the 'Tab Title Format' box, insert 'Current Directory (Short)' - click on the 'OK' button - in the Konsole window enter 'cd $HOME' (note the name of the tab changes to the home directory) - double click on the tab name and the 'rename Tab' window pops up - enter a name, e.g. MyTab - (NOTE: I expect this to be a fixed tab name now) - select the 'settings' tab in Konsole - select 'Edit the current profile' - in 'Edit the Current Profile', select the 'tabs' menu - in the 'Tab Title Format' box, delete the existing format (the format box now has NO format spec) - click on the 'OK' button - in the Konsole window enter 'cd /tmp' (note the name of the tab goes blank) Actual Results: The 'fixed' name of a tab changes to a blank after changing the format to a null field Expected Results: When I explicitly name a tab, I expect that the name will be fixed and will not change or disappear. I tried reading the Konsole documentation on this subject and I could not find a description on how to name a tab with a fixed name. In former releases that I used, once I named a tab, the tab name did not change again unless I changed the name again. This is the behavior that I expect. The documentation needs to explain how to name a tab and what effect the format specified will have. If a format is specified does it override the current name? This appears to be the case, but I maintain that the format should be ignored if the user explicitly names the tab.
i want it fix too plus ability to color each tab - for example red for root console (as was in kde3)
This has been fixed although I'm not sure for what version Tested 4.5.2
