Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-08-25 19:16:25 UTC

When hitting the refresh button in the projects view (would be great to have Kate use a dir listener to auto-track file appearance/disappearance), the tree collapses all folders except for the one where the currently edited file is in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Kate project
2. Expand some folders
3. Hit Refresh button
Actual Results:  
All folders except for the one where the currently edited file is in

Expected Results:  
No folders are collapsed, only empty and/or removed folders get removed

Hi Kai, there once was a review request for it: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120488/
It was discarded, though, since the model merging is probably quite some nasty code...

Any good solution for that?

Bug not in master. Note that the view does have other issues just not this one. In fact I can't get deleted files to disappear for a git project.
