Hi All,
This is supposed to be a (little) bug description for Kate !
The last version of my sofware is not working and I dont understand why. So I renamed the directory containing the project, from …belcan/ to …_belcan_vX/, and I made a copy of a functionnal backup in …belcan/ .
Now, I openned the Kate session "containing" the files of the project*. Wanting to check visualy the différences, between the files, I "split" the window verticaly (right clicking in the bottom of kate window**) displaying …/belcan/Master.js, for exemple, then open the …/_belcan_vX/Master.js in the second part of the window. I then can see that the files are… identical ! Which I know is false, because I ran "diff" in a terminal !
Note that if I close Kate and reopen the project with the list of files still containing the …/_belcan_vX/ files, then the display is(are) correct.
Hoping that I have been clear, I thank you for the time you past reading this email, Patrick
Hi Patrick, I think I understand. I've used kate for many, many, many years (since kde3.0 days). I have not seen the behavior you describe in kate, but I have seen what you describe after I split a window and forget to place the cursor in the other panel before clicking on the second file (i.e. …/_belcan_vX/Master.js in your case) You know when you first split the window you have 2 views of the same file. You cannot simply check the bottom of the kate window for the filename (you will have the filename in the bottom of each panel in the window) I think when you say "split the window vertically" you mean (ctrl+shift+t - split-horizontal) where you have one pane 'above' the other. When you split-horizontal, you must left-click in the panel you want to open the file in to 'set the focus' to that panel (focus can be a little tricky). You then open the second file in that panel. Since you are using a 'project' file to remember a collection of files, all files that are originally opening will be from your …/belcan/ directory. To split-horizontal and then view anything from your …/_belcan_vX/ directory, you will have to click in one of the panels and do File->open …/_belcan_vX/Master.js in the panel. You will then see Master.js and Master.js(2) in your documents list. If you do NOT see Master.js and Master.js(2) in your documents list, then you have not opened the 2nd file and are in fact looking at the same file in both panels. Sorry for the late reply, hope it helps. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
