Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux When I create a new External Tool, it doesn't get saved. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Settings...Configure Kate...Plugins...Check External Tools. 2) Settings...Configure Kate...External Tools...New... 3) Fill in any script, e.g. cd "%directory" Actual Results: If I now re-open External Tools, all I see is '---'. Running Kate 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome Desktop. Ah hah! Just discovered one thing that might be helpful. Looks like External Tools won't work if you don't have Konsole installed (it would be nice if Kate at least gave me a warning telling me I need to install Konsole). Still doesn't work properly though - now a window flashes briefly when I try to run my script, then disappears.
