Bug ID: 359691
Summary: "Warn about files modified by foreign processes" no
longer working
Product: kate
Version: 3.14.2
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdebts8...@iceteks.com
Using latest kate version from Mint 17.1 KDE (3.14.2) and noticed that
recently, there is no longer a warning when a file has been modified by another
process.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file in Kate
2. Modify that file using another program, such as vim
3. Switch back to Kate Window and click on the opened file - you should be
prompted with a warning asking if you want to reload the file because it
changed
Actual Results:
Nothing. It is now possible to hit save and overwrite any changes that were
made in the other program. (ex: coding remotely then coming back home to
continue coding)
Expected Results:
There should be a prompt saying that the file changed, asking what to do with
it
All files are stored via NFS. It's worked before.
On a side note, the "Disable swap files syncing" option also does not work and
can make using KATE with NFS files unbearable if there is a backup job or other
latency on the file server. I am wondering if there is a bigger issue here,
perhaps none of the options are actually registering.
