Kate has a terrific file browser built in. In order to open a directory in Kate's file browser directly from Dolphin Kate would have to provide a service menu that could be embedded into Dolphin. Please provide such a service menu, as the ability to right-click a folder in Dolphin and select "Open in Kate" would be great for users who deal with text files often. Thanks.

What do you mean exactly? 1. is Kate already open, and you want the file browser (left tab) to jump to a specific location? 2. or do you want to open Kate normally, and the file browser should jump to the given location 3. or do you want that all files in the folder are opened recursively in Kate? No, this IS a duplicate, since both reports are assigned to Kate.

The user right-clicks on a folder in Dolphin and selects "Open in Kate". Kate would open (or get focus) and the Kate file browser would be open to the location on which the user clicked. > or do you want to open Kate normally, and the file browser should > jump to the given location Yes. > or do you want that all files in the folder are opened recursively > in Kate? No. Thank you Dominik.
could this bug be potentially a duplicate of bug #288944 and a potential service menu for dolphin be available at http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/kate+folder+service+menu?content=147325
Duping to the newer report as it has "more meat". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 288944 ***
