--- Comment #6 from MountainX <davestechs...@gmail.com> --- Kate 17.08.3 is able to save files to SSHFS mounts and make the backup copy when that option is enabled. Starting with Kate 17.12.0, when the "backup on save" option is enabled, Kate produces an error dialog and fails to make the backup copy on save. In an effort to isolate this, I started with an Arch Linux system that had not been updated in about two weeks. It was running Kate 17.08.3 and making backup copies on saving files to SSHFS mounts was working correctly. I attempted to upgrade only Kate from 17.08.3 to 17.12.0. However, that is not possible, as Kate 17.12.0 requires a new version of qt5-base and a number of other components. I'm running Arch Linux, and Arch doesn't support partial upgrades anyway. So I am forced to do a full system update in order to move from Kate 17.08.3 to 17.12.0. But when I do that upgrade, Kate 17.12.0 fails to be able to make backup copies on saving the file. The problem also happens in the latest version of KWrite. However, KWrite does not produce the error dialog. It fails silently (not a good thing when this means that your expected backup copies simply are not made). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
