Thus spake Leendert Meyer:
Ha, just discovered something. I have a "test" user, and I deleted it's .kde directory completely, and started kde3, and subsequently Kate. It chuckled somewhat, I closed it, started Kate again, and presto: Kate with a docked dir&file tree, and it just worked as before. :-)
Our problem seems to be a configuration file problem. Delete/rename ~/.kde/share/apps/kate and ~/.kde/share/config/katerc, and try again. Problem solved?
Actually, I just found a simpler solution,
LOL! Great!
and I'm feeling like a bonehead for not noticing it before. :-P
You're not the bonehead. A setting in katerc (pre 3.1) was like: current filter=0 Where it should be (perhaps interpreted as): current filter= But let's not call anybody a bonehead ;-) Maybe just a small mistake or so in config file handling/conversion?
Bottom of the list shows a "filter" function. Apparently it's set to filter out, well, everything.
I hit the "filter" icon so it would "clear filters", and presto! There be my files! Arrrrr!
Weird that that's set that way though. I never used that filter before.
Well, I agree. The filter should be set such that all files would be shown at first usage. That would be less confusing. OTOH, this was a good lesson for both of us: we won't forget to check that filer next time we see no files! :-)) Cheers, Leen
