           Summary: handling of colors, schemas, profiles intransparent
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: soloturn99 at yahoo.com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

it should be easier to set defaults (schema, scrollback lines, font) for sessions.

the only thing which you can add to a session is the schema. if you can attach something else, its very hidden (or too complicated).

windows application putty does quite a good job in session management. what makes putties management easy:
1. "schema" does not exist
2. you configure everything and save it as
   session, or default session
3. if you want a new session, you load the
   one you like, change some settings
   (session name, command, background color e.g.)
   and press "save". if you leave the name,
   you changed your currently loaded session.
4. you have every setting in this tree
   structure, and there scattered around
   the whole application (menu, right click,...)
   and therefor comes closer what users do:
   set it once and then leave it.
   nobody continually changes background, or
   font.

putty has just one deficiency:
you cannot do this on an open window, but in the startup-window, which brings the "session manager" for select and start a session, or select and change sessions settings.

i know, this would mean quite a change for the "settings" in konsole, but i think it would be worth considering.

thanks for the otherwise great job with konsole!
