[Konsole-devel] I've googled for days... How to specify a profile (stored anywhere) to konsole (KDE3.5)?

[Mark Li]

Hello everyone,

Thank you in advance. I have googled for days. But still could not find a
way. This is my last resort.
The result of my googling and experiment is as following:

(1)
I know in KDE4.0 I could do like:
konsole --profile "/home/mark/konsole/old.profile"

It works.

But in KDE3.5 when I do:
konsole --profile /afs/cad.njit.edu/u/g/l/gl52/konsole/F3.profile

It does not work. The profile could not be found. konsole just uses its
default profile.
How can make this work? Is there a way to specify the path?

(2)
For now, I put symbolic links in the default profile directory as a
workaround:

osl2-45 profiles>: pwd
/afs/cad.njit.edu/u/g/l/gl52/.kde/share/apps/konsole/profiles

osl2-44 profiles>: ll
lrwxr-xr-x 1 gl52 afs   39 Mar 19 17:14 F1 -> /afs/
cad.njit.edu/u/g/l/gl52/konsole/F1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 gl52 afs   39 Mar 19 17:14 F2 -> /afs/
cad.njit.edu/u/g/l/gl52/konsole/F2

And invoke konsole like:
osl2-45 profiles>: konsole --profile F2

This could work.

Another thought: Can I change the default profile directory of konsole?
I did not find the default path hard coded in the konsole program by trying
this:
osl2-47 profiles>: strings /usr/bin/konsole | grep profiles
osl2-48 profiles>:

I checked the config file: /afs/
cad.njit.edu/u/g/l/gl52/.kde/share/config/konsolerc
Nothing related found.
