Bug ID: 384449
Summary: New documents (without storage url) have mimetype
guessed without respecting selected mode/highlighting
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
When creating a new text document in Kate (or KDevelop), estimation of the
mimetype of the document in KTextEditor::DocumentPrivate::mimeType() is only
done based on content, which in many cases will fail due to missing
intelligence by the mime database (e.g. Markdown content).
The user though has the chance to manually select a filetype mode (from
Tools/Mode menu) in case the detection fails (and I surely are not the only one
to do that). And usually they select a matching mode.
So in the case that there is only one mimetype covered by a filetype mode, it
would be helpful to have the mimetype of the document being overruled by the
filetype mode setting. And in other cases some further control by the user of
the mimetype is needed.
