Description Victor Porton 2014-04-24 20:09:06 UTC

Sometimes, I need to rename the currently opened file. To do this I need to open "Open" dialog, click the file with right button and then select "Properties" in the popup menu.

I think, it should be made simpler: Just add "Properties" item to the popup menu which opens when right-clicking a file in the files list sidebar.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for your patch, it is useful.

However, you have implemented my idea PARTIALLY. You made the feature to rename a file from the context menu.

However, I ALSO want the feature to set file properties from the context menu.

Please add menu item "Properties" to the context menu which appear on right-click of the sidebar.

Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it.

The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs.

Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users.
If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it.

If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind,
if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it,
it will expire in a year again.

We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it.

Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
