SYNOPSIS

konsave [options] [profilename_]

DESCRIPTION

konsave saves and restores Linux desktop customizations, primarily for KDE Plasma but also supporting other configurations. It captures theme settings, icon packs, wallpapers, and other visual customizations.
Profiles can be exported and shared with others, making it easy to replicate desktop configurations across machines or share aesthetic setups with the community.

CAVEATS

Designed primarily for KDE Plasma. Some configurations may not transfer perfectly between different system setups. Imported profiles may require additional packages for themes/icons.
