Bug ID: 470000
Summary: Kate properly restore the session (including untitled)
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.04.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: sessions
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: soltesz.and...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I am using Sessions in Kate 23.04 and use the automatic restoration of the last
used session.
I have the "Automatically save and restore" setting for both "Newly-created
unsaved files" and "Files with unsaved changes" switched on.
This allows restoring pre-existing (named) files that were opened from the file
system, modified but the changes not yet saved when Kate gets closed. When I
restart Kate, these files get auto-restored with all of the unsaved changes and
are displayed in tabs (great improvement BTW, huge thanks Kate devs).
However, untitled (newly-created) files are not restored to their tabs. I can
till recover them by using the Quick Open function but I would like to see them
properly restored on their original tabs when I (re)start Kate.
Reason:
I use these untitled editors as notepads for different temporary content types
and I would like to see them without any searching/recovering when Kate gets
restarted.
I am using Notepad++ on my Windows work laptop and this is the default behavior
there (I would like to have the same behavior on my Linux boxes too).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Ensure the configuration described in the summary
1. Create and save a Session in Kate
2. Create a new editor (Unnamed 1) and put some content in it
3. Close and reopen Kate
OBSERVED RESULT
The "Untitled" editor is not restored on its tab.
Instead, I get an "Untitled (2)" tab with no content in it.
Note: The editor content can still be recovered via the Quick Open function but
this is not what most people would expect. (e.g.: coming from Sublime or
Notepad++)
EXPECTED RESULT
The "Untitled" editor is restored to its own tab when Kate starts just like all
of the other files/editors which are part of the Session.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: .5.105.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My report is very similar to #462112 but it doesn't work as intended when
closing Kate with the window control "x" either (while #462112 states that it
works for him/her in that case).
#463008 and #468573 look very similar too, they may have the same root cause as
this.
Nevertheless these are probably duplicates.
