SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Remove all external tools 2. Add single one OBSERVED RESULT In menu, there is no single entry EXPECTED RESULT I should see my external tool entry in the menu SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It worked, then stopped. Reinstalled and cleared all Local and Roaming data as well.
This is most likely because the tool that you are adding is not executable or it has some other issue. Please make sure all parameters are set correctly.
It is like that even on plain install of KDE Kate. Even if I did not add anything, still I cannot see the External tools on the menu, neither add shortcut to them... They are invisible. What I have tried to run is csvq cli app on Windows and parameters are really straightforward... csvq "some query over csv". What is the strangest thing is that it worked at the first and then suddenly disappeared from the menus. This is the only case on WIndows. My Linux Kate works just fine.
Solved. I tried to separate application executable entry from arguments entry and then it worked.
