            Bug ID: 441803
           Summary: Konsole does not allow to change default profile, but
                    creates new profile instead, leading to cumbersome
                    "New Tab" workflow
           Product: konsole
           Version: 20.12.3
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at kde.lka.org.lu
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

I'd like to customize the default profile of konsole, but have no need of
having multiple parallel profiles in parallel as this leads to an excessive
(non-optimal) amount of clicks to open a new tab


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Settings->Edit Current Profile->Appearance
2. Change the color scheme to something else (or any other change)
3. Apply

OBSERVED RESULT
"Each profile must have a name before it can be saved into disk."
Why would it need another name when changing an *existing* profile?
Entering a name causes a new profile to be created with the changed setting
As there are now 2 profiles (the original unchangeable default profile and then
this new profile), opening new tabs becomes more cumbersome, as now the menu
forces to chose among these 2 profiles

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to change the default profile without needing to create a
new profile to do so.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 5.10.0-8
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

(btw, why are these version numbers, in SystemSettings->SystemInformation, not
copy-pastable?)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
N.B. It is indeed possible to set a "Default" flag on such newly created
profile, but this still keeps the original default in place, which cannot be
removed
