[Bug] - Saving and Exporting configuration does not apply taskbar settings to new system

[robertstrom]

Describe the bug

Honestly not sure if this is a bug or a configuration issue. I have customized a number of KDE settings that I want to be able to apply to any new system that I may build. In particular I have added a number of applications to the taskbar and I want those applications to be in the task bar of the new system.

To reproduce

Save the configuration using the command

konsave -s debian_kde

Export the configuration using the command

konsave -e debian_kde

Transfer the debian_kde.knsv file to the new Debian KDE system.

Run the command

konsave -i debian_kde.knsv

On the new Debian KDE system

Expected behavior

I expect all my KDE settings to have been applied to the newly built system. This is definitely not what I see. There are zero of the applications that I have configured in the Task Bar that have been transfered / applied to the new Debian system.

I have read through the documentation and it is unclear to me if there are items that I need to add to make this work for me.

Please advise if this is possible and if so how to do it.

Thanks!

I believe that I have solved the base issue here. It was not clear to me fro the documentation that the process not only needs to import the configuration to a new system, but that you also need to apply the configuration after the import.

I thought that import would apply the configuration.

The one thing that I am not currently seeing applied from one system to another are the power settings.

Not sure if that is something that konsave is supposed, or has the ability to, save and be able to transfer from one system to another or not.

I have found a way to do that but it would be nice not to have to take that additional step.

I have saved the ~/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc file from a system configured the way that I want and then bring that configuration to the new system.
