Created attachment 123049 [details] File Modified on Disk I often run into a situation where I move or delete a file on disk. Then the attached dialog appears. It has three options: - Overwrite - Reload - Ignore Changes It would be helpful to have a "Close Document" button that closes the document that was associated with the deleted (or moved) file.
+1, I find myself briefly confused when I see this dialog as well. I think we need a larger UX overhaul. I have no idea what any of the buttons on the bottom will do. Here are my approximate reactions to each of them: - Overwrite ("What's being overwritten? I thought the document was deleted!") - Reload ("How do you reload a document that's been deleted?") - Ignore Changes ("What does this do? Huh?")
:-) There are tooltips on the buttons explaining things at bit more. But the buttons and the tooltips were apparently not written with the "Deleted" case in mind.
Here I get a non-windowed message asking "Close File", "Save As", and "Ignore". Was this recently improved for version 19.08?
"Document modified on disk" window was very confuse to me too. I can confirm Christoph's comment when using Kate 19.12.1 and I think that this issue is now solved. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1
Agreed. Much nicer now.
