            Bug ID: 438309
           Summary: Built-in/hardcoded profile should not be named
                    "Default [Read-only]"
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux

Created attachment 139128
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=139128&action=edit
Konsole Profiles configuration tab

SUMMARY

Built-in/hardcoded profile should not be named "Default [Read-only]", because
it leads to confusing naming once user creates more profiles, and set some
other one to be the new default.

Also, it's unclear why "Default" can't be deleted (inactive button) until you
hover mouse over it and read the pop-up.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Konsole (fresh install)
2. Create new profile (e.g. duplicate the built-in one)
3. Set you new profile as default on Profiles configuration tab.

OBSERVED RESULT

For example, in my case profile list looks like on the attachment:

- Default [Read-only]
- Best (default)

^ Only first of them can be "set as default" (corresponding button enabled);
^ Only second of them can be edited;
^ Neither of them can be deleted.


EXPECTED RESULT

I certainly don't expect such overloading of the word "Default" in this
context. It is confusing, because both instances actually mean different
things.

I suggest moving the "Built-in/hardcoded" pop-up to be the name of the
"Default" profile itself, like this:

- Built-in [Read-only]
- Best (default)
