Krusader keymap and color config

Help
1

I’ve just spent a couple of hours learning and configuring Krusade to my liking (on Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma). However, I cannot find where the configuration is saved. I’d hate to lose my settings…

The documentation has an appendix that declares where the files should be, but it seems outdated:

The /usr/share/krusader/foo.keymap and the /usr/share/krusader/foo.color do not exist. ):

Almost all other settings are stored exactly where I expect them to be:
~/.config/krusaderrc

It seems there are presets for Total Commander in this location:
/usr/share/krusader

I’ve tried searching through my system (using Krusader), but I am unable to find anything relevant.

hi, welcome.

i don’t have any particular insights into krusader, but if you want see what files have changed when you make a change in any application you can use something like this command

find -not \( -path './snap/firefox/common' -prune \) -not \( -path './.cache' -prune \) -type f -mmin -1 -printf "%C+ %p\n" | sort -n | tail -10

i’ve added it to a bash script and call watch on it so it runs in a console window and constantly reports what is changing as i work.

note: it excludes some high traffic directories but if you are trying to investigate a snap package, you will want to remove that -prune from the command.

Thank you so much for that! That will certainly come in handy many times in the future!

It also helped me find the answer to my questions - I quickly found out which files changed.

First off, the colors are actually stored at the top of ~/.config/krusaderrc . I just didn’t see it before.

Second, the keybindings are stored at the bottom of ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/krusader/krusaderui.rc in the ActionProperties element.

It seems to store only the non-default changes I’ve made, which is excellent.

Thanks again for giving me the tools to find out the answers!
