(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kate Version: kate 1.0 kde 2.2.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Linux on Celeron > 650MHz kate crashed when writing a changed file in a nfs mounted directory (after doing so without problems for days). After reopening the file I saw it was incomplete. When searching for the backup file every good editor creates I could not find one (~). And there seems to be no setup option in kate / kwrite to activate "create backup files on saving". I am unhappy. Please add this feature! (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
This is now implemented in katepart (in HEAD) and will be available to any application using katepart, including the Kate editor
