Easy saving and switching between multiple KDE configurations.
Project description
Konfsave
Konfsave is a KDE config manager. That is, it allows you to save, back up, and easily switch between different KDE configurations. Each configuration is stored as a profile; the script allows you to save the current configuration as a named profile, and then load profiles by name. Of course, it's also possible to take these profiles somewhere else by just copying their folder.
OK, I lied. Although this is supposed to be a KDE config manager, it can work for pretty much anything that's stored in your home directory. You still have to be on a UNIX-like system, however. Just change the paths in config.ini
to suit your needs and use '--no-restart' to disable restarting the Plasma shell if you don't care about its configs.
Inspired by https://github.com/Prayag2/konsave.

- Per-profile configuration of additional paths to save or exclude by default
- Specifying additional paths to include or exclude using command-line arguments
- Optionally following symlinks when saving paths
