           Summary: KDirOperator::readConfig does not restore settings
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.4
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dhdev at gmx.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Some applications use a KDirOperator (Amarok, KDevelop, Kate) and want to
restore settings after application restart or session management. To do this,
KDirOperator provides the functions readConfig() and writeConfig().

writeConfig() correctly saves the content to the given KConfigGroup, but
readConfig() simply does not restore the settings (view mode (icons, detailed,
...), show hidden files, ...?).

Amarok fixes this by manually reading the config values and applying the
settings via the KDirOperator api again, see:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/browsers/filebrowser/FileBrowser.cpp?r1=905136&r2=905135&pathrev=905136

Either there is a bug in readConfig(), or it's a misunderstanding or misuse
atm...
