            Bug ID: 394821
           Summary: KDE config files are found all around the place
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jan.mussche at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

KDE is known to have a 1001 settings which can be changed to suit the users
wishes. This can take a long time. When you re-install a distro, or perhaps
jump to another, you've got to do it all again.

I have a few questions about this:
1) Is it possible (sure it is) to place each and every KDE config file (for
each and every program and part of Plasma, etc) in one directory, now they are
everywhere. Making a backup would be so much easier to do.
2) Can you create a backup program to backup the settings, just as you did in
Kontact where it is now very easy to create a backup of all your mail from
within the program, instead of trying to find all the akonadi files which are
scattered around. Kudos for that.

For a modern DE, and I considder KDE to be THE DE this is almost mandatory to
have. So if somebody can have a look at this, I and I'm sure many with me, will
be very happy Setting up a new installation will then be peanuts compared to
what it is now.
Thank you very much.
