Version: Kate: 3.1.0 (using KDE 4.1.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs I believe it would be nice to be able to manage its session through a folder structure. I would like to keep my old Session in separate folder than my current one. I believe the easiest way to do it would just be to create the folder structure in ~/.kde/share/apps/kate/sessions/ on from that read them all and retrieve the structure. Addition, deletion and change of the name of the folder/session would be done in the same way than it is currently done I guess :) Just my two tough on this wonderful project :) Thanks for the work guys it rocks !
i dont know, why not keeping your folder stucture on disk ?
Isn't this what I proposed in the first part? The second point is about having the sessions in a different folder than the sources. This allows to keep the sources clean of any files not related to them. It also allows to avoid having to modify .gitignore, .hgignore and co for each specific IDE that the different developers might use.
IDE specific ignores should not clutter project .gitignore files but be in a developer $HOME .gitignore what I'd like is documented in bug #288944 and I think this would answer to your need too. basically support opening a folder like it was a kate project, but without having to maintain .kateproject files from the terminal, you go where you code is and open kate with the folder ex1: cd src/project kate . ex2: kate ~/src/project
i think current kate does what was asked here 8 years ago love kate
Mathieu: should this be closed as RESOLVED WORKSFORME, then?
Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it. The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs. Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users. If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it. If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind, if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it, it will expire in a year again. We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it. Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/ Greetings Christoph Cullmann
