            Bug ID: 397602
           Summary: dolphinrc should contain only persistent configuration
                    and not state
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: b...@bencreasy.com
                CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

As a technical user who wants to monitor and experiment with configuration, I
want to check my configuration into a git repository.

Currently, .dolphinrc contains temporary state (this is often placed into the
XDG_DATA directory - see for example the discussion on Proposal: STATE
Directory at https://wiki.debian.org/XDGBaseDirectorySpecification).

For example, a dolphinrc that I have contains the following:

[General]
Version=200
ViewPropsTimestamp=2018,4,26,4,16,4

[MainWindow]
Height 835=766
MenuBar=Disabled
State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAwAAAAAAAAC4AAAC2PwCAAAAAvsAAAAWAGYAbwBsAGQAZQByAHMARABvAGMAawAAAAAA/////wAAAAoBAAAD+wAAABQAcABsAGEAYwBlAHMARABvAGMAawEAAAAmAAAC2AAAAFoBAAADAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAA/AIAAAAB+wAAABAAaQBuAGYAbwBEAG8AYwBrAAAAAAD/////AAAACgEAAAMAAAADAAAAAAAAAAD8AQAAAAH7AAAAGAB0AGUAcgBtAGkAbgBhAGwARABvAGMAawAAAAAA/////wAAAAoBAAADAAACDwAAAtgAAAAEAAAABAAAAAgAAAAI/AAAAAEAAAACAAAAAQAAABYAbQBhAGkAbgBUAG8AbwBsAEIAYQByAQAAAAD/////AAAAAAAAAAA=
ToolBarsMovable=Disabled
Width 1432=712

Dimensions of windows, timestamps, and so on could be split out into a separate
file. I believe that file should be in ~/.local/share/dolphin as a state file.

I think this should be an uncontroversial request - would a patch be accepted?
If it is controversial, let me know how I can address any concerns!
