Version: 2.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD] OS: FreeBSD (i386) release 4.10-STABLE Sometimes I want to reload all (or many) of the files in the file list (for example, after a svn or cvs update). A one-click solution would be handy.
The latest version of Kate has an option to turn on notification about files modified on disk. That will cause Kate to show a dialog allowing you to handle all files modified on disk at once. I'm going to connect that dialog to the modified icon on the statusbar too, to allow you to activate it at any time. I don't think there is a lot of meaning in having an action only in the file list, but implementing 'reload all' would not be hard. Comments on the value of 'reload all', anyone?
> The latest version of Kate has an option to turn on notification about files modified on disk. Yes! This works perfectly. Thank you!
The notification of changed files works nicely for local files, but I sometimes find it doesn't always work reliably for files opened on remote hosts. I for one would find a 'Reload All' function very handy, so that I know for sure that all files have been reloaded and I'm looking at the latest versions. Anyone else agree?
There are times when I would use it. I often have a dozen or more files open through webdav, and there is no notification when those files are modified. A one-click "reload all" button would be useful to make sure I have all the latest versions.
to "missive@hotmail.com" - agreed, that's the kinda thing I do, have multiple files open via webdav/sftp/etc, and would like to reload all of them. If you would also find this useful, care to cast your vote for this wish?

For my part, the usecase is a encrypted filesystem which is not always mounted. When I do mount it, it would be nice to reload all the files to get the new versions. Alternatively, Kate could automatically detect that this has happened and reload the files.
