Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux This is a "bug/quirk" that hurt. I was editing a remote file in Kate (fish protocol). When using "Save As" with remote files, Kate apparently first saves the file under its current name (bad), then dupes that file, closes the current file and finally loads the duped/renamed file. It should not first save the file with it's current name. This defeats the whole purpose of saving it as another file name. In my case, it lost me my original text file and I ended up with duplicate edited files.
We use the normal kparts method, if that is broken, thats a kdelibs problem
Here using: Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy 958974) KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428)) kdelibs svn rev. 960693 / kdebase svn rev. 960693 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1 When editing a file under smb:/, "Save As" doesn't write the changes to the current filename. (so it keeps unchanged) Can you still reproduce this with a KDE4 version and any other non-local protocol. (May be it's only related to fish:/ (which I can't test)) Thanks
I could not reproduce this. (openSuse 11.1, KDE 4.2.2) I opened vaffel.txt over fish://, changed its contents and saved as vaffel2.txt. The first file's contents was unchanged and the second file had the expected contents.
Marking as WORKSFORME
