SUMMARY

If I have a file open and edit(or delete) the file with an external tool, I'm not able to save anymore with the save, nor with the save as option
Is that intention?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open pdf file
2. Edit file with an external tool/ delete file
3. Try to save pdf.

OBSERVED RESULT
- save: If I delete the file, no new file is created, just get the message, that I'm not able to save.
- save as: does not recreate the file

EXPECTED RESULT
- save: create file again in the same path with same name
- save as: create file in selected path with selected name

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Frameworks 5.57.0
Qt 5.12.3 (kompiliert gegen 5.12.2)

Is this duplicate of 402017? It does not mention editing, but KDirWatch probably doesn’t care about it. And usually, editing means deleting the file and writing a slightly different file with the same path.
