Description Antoine Pitrou 2015-08-11 13:39:24 UTC 
In previous versions of Kate, I could open new files using the Open dialog. I would simply type a non-existing file name and it would create a new file with that name in the current directory.

With Kate 5.0, if I try to do that, it fails with an error dialog "cannot find file".

Of course, this is not a biggie. I mostly need to re-train my fingers, but doing that from the Open dialog was actually practical :)

Reproducible: Always

We use QFileDialog::getOpenFileUrls for that, there is no way to influence this. Therefore this is a won't fix for me.

Also note thatright click -> New File option works (again) from the Open File dialog (it was broken/removed previously but seems restored).
