*** Bug 377505 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 81a8d573ecaf4ed0cfc803b081d3cbec99f8a787 by loh tar. Committed on 02/04/2019 at 17:49. Pushed by lohtar into branch 'master'. DocumentPrivate: Add option "Auto Reload Document" to View menu ...and a "Enable Auto Reload" button to the ModOnHdPrompt. There are a couple of request for such feature with different details and some opinions against it at all. Not only because KTextEditor is not well suited to work like 'tail -f'. However, this option should not cause any harm. Currently jump the view after an update sometimes/often but that may fixed later e.g. by D17857 - The max update interval is set to 3sec. Shorter intervals would cause a bad user experience - As long as the user scrolls around updates are blocked - The cursor is set to first/last line of the view when scroll above/below. This is currently not the best solution and cause also the mentioned jumps. Setting to the middle of the view would reduce this odd jumping but it shouldn't jump in any case - Placing the cursor into the last line cause to work like 'tail -f' Related: bug 377505, bug 384384 FIXED-IN: 5.57 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D19517 M +2 -1 src/data/katepart5ui.rc M +6 -0 src/dialogs/katedialogs.cpp M +2 -1 src/dialogs/katedialogs.h M +58 -0 src/document/katedocument.cpp M +11 -0 src/document/katedocument.h M +30 -0 src/view/kateview.cpp M +6 -3 src/view/kateview.h M +1 -0 src/view/kateviewinternal.cpp https://commits.kde.org/ktexteditor/81a8d573ecaf4ed0cfc803b081d3cbec99f8a787 |
