--- Comment #1 from Peter J. Mello <ad...@petermello.net> ---
If I might weigh in on this issue...I came by intending to file a bug report
very much like this one, and not knowing the dev team's preference in such
instances, I'll err on the side of less clutter,
I confess that this behavior is currently my least favorite from Kate, though
my concept of how it might be improved approached from a different angle. The
fundamental logic behind it feels sound to me, only incomplete. What if the
only change made to the existing dialog prompting a reaction to external
modifications was an optional drop down function from the ignore button that
offered the ability to:
A) Ignore changes to that file for the remainder of the session and warn only
on an attempt to save the file
B) Ignore for n minutes (I picture this as being a nested menu inside the
drop-down, with a submenu of natural intervals measured in minutes)
C) Lock out all inputs and refresh without confirmation (admittedly this one
is more radical than the first two, I include it merely to illustrate the range
of relatively foreseeable user desires)
That's all I've got. You guys have really been killing it lately, IMO. Not to
say that Kate hasn't always been quality software, but speaking candidly, prior
to last year it was relegated mostly to the random occasions Dolphin didn't
have a default for SublimeText3 or VSCode for whatever MIMEType I was opening.
I'm bad with version numbers but at some point this summer, I realized I was
burning an awful lot of mouse clicks on "Open With... -> Kate" and began
flipping those default handlers over to Kate and haven't looked back. I was
gonna lead off with this sentiment but I worried it might cheapen my suggestion
if it seemed I was trying to butter your bread first.
Sorry for rambling; I look forward to any responses that may be forthcoming.
-Peter
