My KDE3 konsole profile

KDE3 had a nice functionality for Konsole ("konsole --profile MyStartupTabs")
whereby you could tell Konsole to start up with a set of tabs, each initialized
to a particular working directory, with a particular title, etc.  (See my old
konsole tab profile config file, attached.)

This functionality is very convenient when you use the same set of terminal
tabs every day, as it saves you the repetitive task of creating the same set of
tabs, changing their titles, etc. every day.

Any possibility of adding this to Xfce Terminal?

This is already possible, although we don't support profiles (yet) but there is another bug for that one.

Take a look at terminal --help. There you will see you can add multiple --tab and --window options to separate the settings. Something like this for example:

terminal --working-directory=/ -T=first --tab --working-directory=/usr -T=second --tab --working-directory=/tmp -T=third --window --working-directory=/home -e free -H -T=Desktop --tab -x top

So it is!  OK, that'll do for now.  Tnx much for the pointer!

BTW, can you post the number of the "profiles" bug (if you know it)?  I'd like to add myself as a CC on that, but I wasn't able to find it in bugzilla.

Bug #5911
