Bug ID: 425136
Summary: Kate on Windows: Save dialogs use "C:\Program
Files\Kate\bin" as initial folder
Product: kate
Version: 20.04.2
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: fliegenbl...@gmx.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I want to save a file that has not been saved yet or select one of the
different "Save as" menu items, the file browser dialog that opens, initially
shows the folder in which Kate is installed, e.g. "C:\Program Files\Kate\bin".
It would be more convenient, if the file browser would initially show the user
folder of the currently logged in user, e.g. "C:\Users\Matthias".
This is as I saw a duplicate to bug 163443. Nevertheless, I would prefer that
on Windows, Windows-like behavior is used. Is there the possibility to
conditionally compile Kate for Windows and for Linux, so that the Windows
version uses the user folder and the Linux version uses the working directory
as default?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save a not yet saved document OR Select a "Save as" menu item
2. The file browser dialog opens with the folder "C:\Program Files\Kate\bin" as
default.
OBSERVED RESULT
The file browser dialog opens with the folder "C:\Program Files\Kate\bin" as
default.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file browser dialog opens with the folder "C:\Users\<UserName>" as default.
