Description Shriramana Sharma 2013-05-06 06:29:16 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
Open Kate to a fresh unnamed session.
Open a few files (or not).
Click Sessions > Save Session.

Observed:
Nothing happens. The current session is not saved since it is unnamed. (If we are in a named session it does work as expected.)

Desired:
In an unnamed session, clicking on Save Session should ask for a session name. IOW, it should behave the same as Save Session As. This is the same as doing Ctrl+S or File>Save when an unnamed document is open.

This get's a little bit tricky. There actualy is a functionality behind saving an unnamed session. It's currently the only way to configure plugins and view layouts for unnamed session.

But yeah, it's not clear from the first look. UX is not easy:)

Make "Save Session" action ask for a name for anonymous sessions

Summary:
When invoking "Save Session", kate should ask for a session name if
the session is anonymous, i.e. the same behaviour when using saving a
a new file/unnamed document.
FIXED-IN: 19.04.0

Test Plan:
Opening a kate instance with a new/anonymous session and invoking
"Save Session" should ask the user to enter a name for the session.
