Bug ID: 391869
Summary: File selection dialog forgets directory context when
opening from remote server
Product: kate
Version: 17.12.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The file selection dialogs (eg. for open file) are forgetting the last used
directory, if that last used directory is remote - for instance over SFTP using
a KIO slave.
Previous to OpenSuse Leap 42.3 (Kate 16.08.02 and Framework 5.26.0) it would
always remember the last open directory, so for instance if you open one file
on a remote SFTP server, the next time you click "open" the file-browsing
begins from the same remote place.
Currently now the file selection is dumping you back in your local home
directory every time, regardless of the context. This makes for a tedious
navigation back to a particular remote directory location, especially if it is
deep down a directory tree.
To reproduce on vanilla OpenSuse Leap 42.3 or Leap 15 beta:
1. In Kate or Kwrite open a remote file on a SFTP server.
2. Once opened, click open again.
3. See where the starting point is for browsing the filesystem. It should be
the SFTP server still.
The second time you click open, instead of remembering the last used directory
of this context, namely the remote SFTP directory, it dumps you back into you
local home directory instead.
Expected Results:
The software should start the filesystem browsing from the same directory as
houses the currently open file.
Exceptions:
The directory remembering works correctly if the current context is a local
drive directory. The bug only occurs on remote server access.
