Description Erik Wasser 2005-11-29 16:37:14 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8) 
OS:                Linux

Following scenario:

% touch foo
% kate foo
% rm bubu

Click on 'kate' and the 'File was Deleted on Disk' dialogue appears. I'm missing here a 'close/forget about that file' option. Sometimes the filename was wrong or I moved the file around to it's final place and I don't need this file in the editor anymore. 'Close' would be neat here.

Extremely common scenario is to just rename the file. This requires *3* clicks in Kate to get rid of the old one (not even counting opening the new one). *Highly* annoying.

imho a very sane wish :)

Wow, a 5-year-old high priority bug.  

The existing "Reload" button in the dialog returns an error, which of course it would since the file is deleted.  So I think the "reload" button should be replaced with a "close" button.

Current KF5 versions have the "close" button that was wished, actually, that was really not that easy, as the editor component needs to have an interface to trigger this in the hosting application (e.g. we still have bug 359441 that this didn't work in kdevelop until "now", aka 5 minutes ago)
