Bug ID: 384972
Summary: No change of preview on format change of content (e.g.
plain text -> Markdown)
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plugin-preview
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
CC: kosse...@kde.org
Depends on: 384448, 384449
Target Milestone: ---
When editing a document and changing the format (like turning plain text into
Markdown formatted one), the preview does not update. Even not when saving to a
new file with a new file suffix.
Reason is that the plugin relies on the MIME type reported for the document.
Right now KTextEditor only estimates that MIME type on request instead of
maintaining this property itself and notifying clients about any changes (see
bugs this report depends on).
Workaround:
Best ensure the changed document is saved at least once (for MIME types only
detected by file suffix). Then either close & open again the file or switch the
preview plugin shortly to preview another open document.
