Description jarlgjessing 2004-08-13 10:38:43 UTC

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.104-default

I've had some problems with kate and quanta, and now I know what the problem is.
If a file is less than 1024 bytes, Quanta and Kate stopped and all I could do was kill them, I tried copying the file manually, and found that it created the <filename>.<ext>.part and this file had the right content, but it never got copied to the right file <filename>.<ext>

Aha! This would explain the problem I had with quanta a couple of weeks ago with 3.3beta. It actually caused data loss; I accidentally saved changes in one of the files that got opened empty and had to recreate it afterwards.

Confirmed, mimetype determination fails on small files.

Fixed, needs to get some testing and can then be backported for KDE 3.3.1

Comment 5 Waldo Bastian 2004-09-20 22:52:18 UTC

Hmm, I'm still experiencing these problems under KDE 3.3.1? Drag n' drop copy works, but opening the file from within Quanta for instance fails. As do opening it with KWrite from Konqueror.
