Description popov895 2023-07-21 22:21:12 UTC

SUMMARY

When I try to open a file from the recent list that doesn't exist, the app creates a new file with the same name instead of warn the user that the file doesn't exist.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a new file 111.txt
2. Open 111.txt in the Kate
3. Close Kate
4. Delete 111.txt
5. Open Kate and try to open 111.txt from the recent list

OBSERVED RESULT

Kate creates a new empty file with the name 111.txt.

EXPECTED RESULT

Kate doesn't create any file, but warns the user that such a file doesn't exist.

Error popup when clicking on deleted files in Recent Files menus

The "Recent Files" menus opened a blank file when clicking on a file that had been deleted.

The changes in code display an error popup with the message  "This file does not exist" if such a file entry is clicked in the Recent Files Menu
