Version: 2.5.6 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-1-386 Although Kate is configured to warn me when opened files are changed, I get no warning when changing the file externally. It seems the change-warning does not work with CIFS-shares, because when testing with local files it works perfectly. I use the same CIFS-share on my desktop and on my laptop and sometimes work on the same files - in this situation it is critical to have a consistent state, so changes are instantly propagated (automatic reload would be best in my case) or at least a warning is issued. Maybe there is a workaround for CIFS-shares? (is there no node-monitoring similar to inotify in the CIFS-protocol?)
How is the CIFS mounted?
Sorry, without more information can't help. Even if this doesn't work, this is a kdirwatcher problem (kdelibs).
sorry, I was offline the last week, here is some more information: CIFS-share is mounted normally via fstab, here is the corresponding line: //server/share /media/docs cifs credentials=/home/grexe/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 Is this a bug in kdelibs or is it simply not supported?
Reassigning to kio.
Is this still an issue under the latest stable version of KDE 4?
See comment #5.
