Trouble free upgrade from Mageia 5 to 6. But Kate is not picking up my previous configuration, which includes several sessions that I don't want to lose.
I have this:

Code: Select all: $ ls -l /home/emason/.config/katerc

which is new, and this

Code: Select all: $ ls -l /home/emason/.kde4/share/config/katerc

which is from Mageia 5.

I also have this:

Code: Select all: $ ls ~/.kde4/share/apps/kate/sessions/ SEP.katesession General.katesession pytracker.katesession Seabirds.katesession

which are the sessions that are no longer being imported into Kate. I suspect I just need one or two softlinks to fix this, but I've not succeeded so far, nor found anything useful on the web.

Grateful for any help.

I think that you need to move or copy ~/.kde4/share/apps/kate/ to ~/.local/share/kate/

Yes, sadly not all KDE configurations are migrated. Exactly what Jim mentioned.
I also wondered where my kate sesstion went, and needed to copy it over.

Please mark the thread accordingly by editing the topic of the first post and prefix it by [SOLVED], thanks

It is not necessary to copy all the files, but only the files inside of the session folders.

Code: Select all: cp /home/myuser/.kde4/share/apps/kate/sessions/* /home/myuser/.local/share/kate/sessions/

myuser ... your Linux user

These files are not needed:

[myuser@computer kate]$ pwd
/home/myuser/.kde4/share/apps/kate
[myuser@computer kate]$ ls
