Project view showing newly added untracked file |
||
I think that's the intended behavior of the project plugin. From what I can gather, only the files tracked by the supported source control systems (e.g. git) are shown there. For example, build folders will not be shown unless a `git add build` && `git commit -m "Add build folder"` is done. For a "live" tracking of the current folder, there is the "File System Browser" plugin. Although it does not automatically show the current project folder, it has a manual "Current Document Folder" button and also automatically reloads the view when new files are created. Created attachment 135638 [details] Project view showing newly added untracked file I think https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/234/diffs fixes this (the newly added file is listed under <untracked>). That said, it will only show newly added files and the listing only persists for a specific session. |
