Bug ID: 507106
Summary: KWrite should open new tabs instead of windows when
"Open each document in its own window" is unticked
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: maxant...@outlook.fr
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kate manages this but not KWrite apparently: when the option **"Open each
document in its own window"** is unticked (hinted by _"If enabled, each
document will be opened in its own window. If not enabled, each document will
be opened in a new tab in the current window."_), opening a new document
(either from terminal or file explorer) should go in a new tab instead of a new
window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KWrite (empty document or exsiting document)
2. From terminal `kwrite <other-document>` or file explorer (Dolphin in my
case) -> open the other document.
OBSERVED RESULT
Each new document opened creates a new window.
EXPECTED RESULT
Each new document opened should instead be a new tab in the existing window.
Just like when opening from the existing KWrite windows -> "Open"
