Indeed that wasn't :-).

I'm sorry, I still don't understand :-). The default at first startup (ie 
until you save different settings) is no history, but this can be easily 
changed. I'm not sure what you mean by "making these settings a bit 
transparent", though.

The problem with unlimited history is that it also eventually takes unlimited 
place on the disk. What's more, this place is occupied by a deleted file, 
which is most confusing to users : you get a disk full but don't see where 
it's coming from. What triggered me working on this is that a co-worker, 
although an experienced programmer, was actually rebooting his machine to 
recover the disk space.

So the only alternative is to put that in a regular file, which means letting 
the user specify the file, which means linking libkfile in. IMHO it's not 
worth it.

You have no idea what german names feel like to me :-).

Not if you want me to reply :-).
