Description Gleb Popov 2021-04-23 09:06:44 UTC

When I start Kate from the command line and pass -s option with unknown session name, it creates a new session. However, no plugins are enabled by default, which is a bit confusing and absolutely not neat.

At the same time, when creating a new session with GUI, it uses default plugin set.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. kate -s my-new-session somefile.cpp

OBSERVED RESULT

1. Kate opens and the session is created, but no plugins are enabled. For instance, there is no side panel at all, because "Project" and "File Browser" plugins are disabled.
2. Go to .local/share/kate/sessions and open my-new-session.katesession
3. The [Kate Plugins] section is filled with "false" values.

EXPECTED RESULT

The plugins section is filled with the same values as other .katesession's created with GUI.

This merge request would fix that as a side-effect

ensure new sessions at have the default plugins

ATM if you start kate via

kate -n -s sjdfjskljfklsjdlf

and the session doesn't exist, even the default plugin
loading state is lost

This should do the job.
