Bug ID: 408907
Summary: Kate refuses to open the files in a directory
Product: kate
Version: 19.04.2
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: baltas...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
You cannot open a folder from command line.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Navigate using Konsole or whatever to the foler holding the files you want
to open.
2. Type "kate . &"
3. Kate complains about that the file is not a normal file, but a folder.
OBSERVED RESULT
Kate complains about that the file is not a normal file, but a folder, refusing
to open anything. The terminal plugin terminal changes to that folder, though.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kate should open all files inside that folder, the ones of the recognized
extensions, or maybe the ones with Mime type text.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro x86_64
KDE Plasma Version: 5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0
Qt Version: 5.12.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can think of two options:
1. Since Kate recognizes that file as a directory, go and scan it for text
files, then open them.
2. There is no "-d" option in the command line. Use it as in "kate -d . &" for
opening a directory.
