Bug ID: 416137
Summary: "Close other" option automatically saves session.
Unable to restore previous state
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@insaner.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I mistakenly clicked on the "close other" context menu item on a big project
session which closed (many) other open documents, and since there is no "undo"
button for the action, I closed the window and tried to relaunch the session
again, only to find out it had been automatically saved after the "close other"
action.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. [Back up the session you wish to test this on]
2. Open session with multiple open files
3. Switch to "tree mode" in "view mode" context menu
4. Right click on a file in a directory with multiple files, and click on
"close other"
5. Close the window, without saving the session
6. Relaunch kate with the session
OBSERVED RESULT
Session has automatically been overwritten with the results of the "Close
other" action
EXPECTED RESULT
No auto-overwriting of session.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Core 30,
KDE Frameworks 5.64.0
Qt 5.12.5 (built against 5.12.5)
Kate: Version 18.12.2, and git master as of 2020 January 11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If we are auto-saving in case of a crash, we should auto-save to a special
"autosave" session, not the current session, which otherwise requires manual
saving (the expected behavior).
If a dev that knows where the fix could go but has no time to fix it themselves
wants to point me in the right direction to fixing this, I could try to see if
I can do it myself.
