            Bug ID: 412705
           Summary: Konsole leaves hundreds of megabytes in thousands of
                    temp history files
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: history
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: termtech at rogers.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Every week I must manually clean out thousands of
 konsole-*.history temporary files from /tmp totaling
 hundreds of megabytes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use konsole for some days or weeks.

OBSERVED RESULT
Low disk space on drive, sometimes causing complete
 failure to boot system.
Must manually clean them out from /tmp, sometimes
 from another distro before even being able to boot.
Average user has no clue what is going on behind their back,
 and why the system won't boot.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no history files hanging around
 when konsole is not running.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please make konsole clean up after itself when it closes.
Even better: When konsole starts, please check if stale history
 file are hanging around and delete them before continuing.
(Can you see the bizarre irony that these are supposed to be
 'temporary' files but they hang around forever?)

Thank you.
