KDE 5.32.0 Plasma 5.8.7 Qt version 5.6.2 Kate 17.04.2 The xcb windowing system system: OpenSuse Leap 42.3 x86_64 By default Kate uses my home directory as a default for open or save of documents. Please add a general option so we can set a different directory as the default. This appears to be addressed in bug 18954 and supposedly was fixed (seems to be the same request) but when KDE changed to QT based I think that fix got lost.
Maybe instead it should just remember the last-used directory like most other apps do.
It already does, if you have a file open in some directory, then if you hit open it will open there. What I'm asking for is the kind of thing where for example, if you have a new instance of Kate or a new blank tab and no files open it will use whatever directory you set as default
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
