If the user presses Shift+F3 and writes the name of an inexistent file: Krusader opens a viewer window, though there's nothing to see, of course. Maybe Krusader should show an error message saying 'The file "<name>" does not exist.'?
This bug was confirmed. There's a proposed solution inhttps://phabricator.kde.org/D27258
Git commit 419ac6ec839414bbae52849af536bc8ba1da83e4 by Toni Asensi Esteve. Committed on 15/02/2020 at 16:56. Pushed by asensi into branch 'master'. Manage what happens when a PanelViewerBase (e.g. using Shift+F3) is being used to open a local file that does not exist This solves some problems. For example, if users press Shift+F3 and paste the path of a local inexistent file: Krusader opens a viewer window as it that file existed and was empty (but that file is not empty, it really does not exist). Note: That problem doesn't happen in the case of remote inexistent files.
