How to store a session in Konsole

[reggler]

I read here: https://brunovernay.wordpress.com/20...e-and-restore/ that I can share a session containing multiple tabs with different commands executed on start up. That would be exactly what I want but I don't find how this works, I don't have a "Settings ... / Save Sessions Profile ..." menu option. Can someone help please?
My version is 2.13.2

And just to be transparent, this same question also got asked at https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=227&t=135875 but at time of compilation, there had been no response yet.

Sorry, but that post was from Sept. 2007 - nine years ago. KDE 4.0 was in Beta that year and released on Oct. This post is likely about KDE 3.5.

I feel like I have to point out: Almost anything that old isn't going to be useful. Konsole has gone through 1000s of changes since then.

I have no use for this functionality, but I suspect you can save Bookmarks and/or make a Profile that will do what you want.

If that functionality was present in the past, it makes me wonder why it was removed then.

How would you go about using bookmarks and/or the profile to achieve what I'm looking for, am I missing something here?

Thanks!

The developer(s) make those decisions. You'd have to go back 9 years to figure out when or why. Seems to be a question that will go unanswered. If it makes you feel any better, a little web searching reveals this was a complaint filed as a missing-feature bug when KDE4 was new.

As I said, I have no use for this ( I use Yakuake all the time, but rarely Konsole), but for one example, you can edit the default profile (or create others) and change the initial directory, change the initial command, etc.

Or you could launch konsole from a script with some commands like:

#!/bin/sh
konsole -e ssh me@server1
konsole --new-tab -e ssh me@server2
konsole --new-tab -e ssh me@server3

This would open konsole with three tabs all ssh'd to different servers. This is Linux so there's always more than one way to solve a problem. Figure out exactly what you want then do a little research on how best to make it happen. I write little scripts, desktop files, servicemenus, etc. all the time to get my system working the way I like. It's the beauty and power of Linux.

Open a Konsole and select "Settings" --> "Manage Profiles" from the menu. Is that what you are looking for?

#!/bin/sh
konsole -e ssh me@server1
konsole --new-tab -e ssh me@server2
konsole --new-tab -e ssh me@server3

Yep, awesome, that's exactly what I needed!
Thanks a bunch!
