Restore multiple window profiles after reboot
Description:
Thank you for all your efforts.
I'm encountering an issue where Krusader doesn't restore multiple window profiles after a system reboot. When I have multiple windows open in different profiles, they all revert to the same profile upon restart. I can't disable the startup profile settings; there are only two options available: 'last session' and 'profiles created by user,' with no option to disable the startup profile.
Expected Behavior:
Upon reboot, each Krusader window should reopen with the profile it was associated with in the previous session. This would preserve the intended workspace layout and configuration across sessions.
Actual Behavior:
After rebooting, all Krusader windows open with the same profile, regardless of their previous assignments. This disrupts the workflow and requires manual profile switching for each window.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open Krusader and create multiple windows.
- Assign different profiles to each window.
- Verify that each window displays the associated profile settings and customizations.
- Reboot the system.
- Observe that all Krusader windows open with the same profile, even if they were previously associated with different profiles.
Severity:
Low - This issue causes inconvenience and disrupts workflow, but doesn't prevent core functionality.
Impact:
This affects users who rely on multiple Krusader profiles and window layouts for efficient work.
Additional Information:
- Krusader version: 2.7.2 "Peace of Mind"
- Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04 (KDE)
Proposed Solution:
-
Implement a mechanism to store and restore multiple window profiles:
- Krusader could save the profile association for each window during the closing process.
- Upon startup, these saved associations could be used to automatically assign profiles to each window.
-
Offer a user preference to control profile restoration:
- Users could choose whether to disable or restore individual/multiple profiles.
Conclusion:
Restoring multiple window profiles after reboot would significantly enhance Krusader's usability and workflow management. Please consider implementing this fix or feature to improve the user experience.
