Description Grégoire Verlut 2012-06-21 09:26:54 UTC
"File > close" is not self explanatory, since Kst handles only one file per running instance.
I would rename this "close" to "new session"

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Netterfield 2012-07-05 05:37:25 UTC
This option both closes the current session and creates a new one.  So neither name is fully 'self explanatory'.  And neither name is wrong.

How about 'Close/New' ?
Comment 2 Nicolas Brisset 2012-07-05 23:08:40 UTC
I'm all for "New Session". As long as Kst asks whether the user wants to save his changes before throwing everything away, there is no risk IMHO.
I think Close/New is clumsy and Close alone is not clear: which file(s) will it close (datasources, .kst, ...) and what will happen to Kst?

I would almost commit it right now... so that we can close the bug and get it into 2.0.6. Good for our statistics :-) But I'll wait for some feedback.

By the way, when using this action I often get a Kst crash not too long after. I fear we don't really reset everything properly. But that should go into a different bug report.

SVN commit 1304398 by brisset:

Rename the "Close" File menu entry to "New Session", which is less confusing.
I checked that when there are unsaved changes the user gets a chance to save them :-)
