Hi there,

I recently made the upgrade to 4.5.0 (great work, team, by the way ), and I have a small issue. I'm using krunner a lot, and was used to recalling previous entries by hitting the "up" key. I can't get this to work in 4.5.0, am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance !

Guillaume

do you have text completion on? right click krunner search field to check

Thanks for the suggestion... tried that, but none of the proposed options seem to work.

Maybe I should start again from a clean config, I have a few of these small issues since upgrading.

Thanks anyway

"clean config" you mean wipe out ~/.kde4 (or ~/.kde depending)? How about just erasing the krunner rc file and see if that fixes it, much less drastic

~/.kde4/share/config/krunnerrc
there's a folder ~/.kde4/share/apps/krunner (but mine's empty)

Didn't work either... the file is recreated when starting krunner again, here is what it looks like:

Code: Select all

[EdgePositions]
Screen0=590,0

[General]
PastQueries=\\0

[Interface]
Size=420,309

Don't know if that is really useful, though...

Since you now have a clean rc file with no past entries the up button has nothing to display when pressed

how about you replace "PastQueries=\\0" with:

PastQueries=klipper,amarok,opera,digikam,kmix,plasma-desktop,kquitapp plasma-desktop,kget,konversation,kalarm,yast,kcalc,parti,nm-tool,knetw,pkill opera,freepopsd,kdesu systemsettings,krandrtray,kinfo,kwrite,amule,virtualbox,dolphin,vlc,krename,nvclock,nvidia-settings,konqueror,smplayer,audex,kdebugdialog,k3b,kaffeine,kuickshow,kid3,SpiderOak,picard,d4x,marble,systemsettings,ksystemlog,pkill klipper,pkill amarok,gwenview,waheela
QueryTextCompletionMode=5

Yep, that works

However, when I type other entries, they are not added to the history inside the krunnerrc. I don't think it's a permission issue:

Code: Select all

ls -la .kde4/share/config/krunnerrc
-rw------- 1 guillaume users 1596 17 août  23:59 .kde4/share/config/krunnerrc

And I see that the krunner process runs with my account's privileges... I am puzzled

Oh well, night is a good councellor, they say... Thanks again for your help and taking the time

there's a history bug and patch: Bug 247566 - "krunner "run command" doesn't keep any history"
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247566

In my testing the history is there, somewhere, but not written to the rc file and not retained after a restart of kde

No idea when the patch will be available, is responsibility of packagers

Thanks ! Pointed this to the Archlinux community through their forum, hoping they will pick it up
