when starting in a terminal, kate print a lot of messages, not necessary wanted. Could you please add an option to make kate silent ? This bug was reported on the Debian Bug Tracker : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589683 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a terminal 2. launch kate 3. Actual Results: the terminal is full of messages Expected Results: kate --quiet should keep the terminal clean.
Just launch kdebugdialog and disable the debug areas for Kate. Then it is going to be silent. This is the official way of dealing with this issue. We won't implement a solution that is special to Kate, sorry.
Unfortunately that is not enough. On Kubuntu you still get a lot of "Enchant dict for ....." and similar lines. But don't worry here is your magic option to remove them ;) kate 2> /dev/null example: kate 2> /dev/null -n some_file_to_open_in_a_new_window.txt
