Description jimbo 2022-01-21 15:50:15 UTC 
Both of these actions require a 'per file' action. Kate should allow the user to set these behaviors as default. If the file has been changed outside Kate, I would like it to always reload. If the file has been deleted outside of Kate, II would like it to always close without prompts. Thanks.

There is a setting under behavior:

Show dialog for externally modified files

This will allow you to reload everything at once. Does it fixes your problem?
Comment 2 jimbo 2022-01-22 07:05:48 UTC 
No that just changes how the dialog is shown (instead of a blue dropdown box within Kate it shows as a separate dialog box). I'd like to set the default behaviour so that no prompt is shown.

I would also like such a feature.
Comment 4 Isabella Nightshade 2024-05-17 10:04:08 UTC 
Yeah, I would much appreciate a feature like this. Currently I have to re-enable auto-reload every single time I open a document, even the same document, if it was closed. The auto-reload status is never saved for any reason. I'd at least like to be able to remember the auto-reload status per-file, ideally have it to be configurable to remember globally.
