Bug ID: 461998
Summary: Alternative terminal setting not respected by eg
Dolphin
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_componentchooser
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: wstephen...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
There is a mismatch between what the terminal chooser writes to kdeglobals and
what KTerminalLauncherJob reads.
Because KTerminalLauncherJob reads a value for a configured alternate terminal
which it cannot fetch a KService for, it always falls back to Konsole.
Regression introduced in 246b23191d59ad852c8a56bc3af72fa8ff7308f8.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select XTerm in kcm_componentchooser as terminal application
2. kdeglobals contains:
```
TerminalApplication=xterm
TerminalService=xterm.desktop
```
3. User uses 'Open Terminal Here' in dolphin's context menu, for example
4.
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/master/src/gui/kterminallauncherjob.cpp#L92
tries to fetch KService::serviceByStorageId("xterm.desktop"). This fails and
the fallback konsole is picked instead.
5. If the TerminalService line is removed or changed to ="xterm", the correct
terminal emulator is started by the LauncherJob.
OBSERVED RESULT
Konsole always starts irrespective of configuration
EXPECTED RESULT
Xterm starts when configured
