I use Kate and Konsole a lot, and often have many tabs open in both, for file editing in Kate and having different terminals in Konsole. In Kate, I can save the current tabs and the files they contain in a named session, and then load that specific session from the Sessions menu in Kate, or even type it into Krunner and open kate with that session, versus just loading whatever tabs were open last time I shutdown. Recently I've been wondering if I can't do the same thing in Konsole, because I find myself reopening the same tabs every time I boot. I've read online the KDE3.5 had the ability to store and load named sessions of tabs, their path, and their environment, but I couldn't find that anywhere in the Konsole I have (2.8.4, KDE 4.8.4). I was reading this bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152761 which is about saving the current session before shutting down or closing, and that part works fine - when I reboot Konsole (usually) has the tabs I had before. However I couldn't figure out how to save multiple different sessions for different groups of tabs, since I often jump between projects. I understand that Konsole has a --session argument, but I don't know how that works or how different sessions can be saved with specific IDs. Also, the linked bug report is from KDE 4.2, and since this feature hasn't been implemented yet in 4.8.4, I thought I file a bug report to see what other people think. Reproducible: Always
If you have a recent version, you can try using --tabs-from-file <file>. Also there is a save tab layout options.
