Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2021-06-13 06:19:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I start Kate from the shell as 'kate -n some_folder/some_file.txt', Kate is unable to save if `some_folder` does not exist

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the shell, type `kate -n folder_which_does_not_exist/newfile.txt`
2. Type something in the opened Kate window
3. Press Ctrl+S (save)

OBSERVED RESULT
Kate complains that it is not possible to write to the save location, and asks the user to check the permissions and disk space.

EXPECTED RESULT
If the required parent folder does not exist, Kate should create it and save the file.

If you want to have that, please provide a patch.

I don't see need for that and don't see other editors doing it that way.
