Bug ID: 405882
Summary: Kile does not accept file paths as parameter as before
Product: kile
Version: 2.9.92
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: michel.lud...@kdemail.net
Reporter: josmi9...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
This was possible before but for some reason seems to have been removed: kile
cannot be invoked from the command line with some parameter that identifies the
file or project to open. Instead a URL has to be passed.
This is an absurd and extremely user-unfriendly regression, since starting kile
simply with a path is the most natural way to use it, and would conform to how
basically all other programs from cat to pycharm work on Linux.
If somebody has really strong feelings about the need to support URLs instead,
then why not use -- again in standard Linux fashion -- option flags, e.g. -f
somefilepath versus -u someurl?
Not supporting file paths from the command line leaves only two options:
clumsily having to convert file paths to URLs, where the frequent use-case of
using a relative file path makes things even more awkward, or clicking many
times through the file open dialig within kile (since kile also does not start
the file picking at the current directory, but always at the home directory
level which is super annoying as well).
