SUMMARY
When trying to open a second file via the File Open dialog after already having
a file opened via the sftp protocol, Kate shows the error message "The file or
folder sftp://FULLFILNAMEOFOPENFILE does not exist."
My interpretation is that Kate tries to tell the File Open dialog to switch to
the same folder where the currently open file came from, but instead of passing
along the just path without the filename, the file open dialog receives the
path plus filename. The dialog then tries to 'cd' into this 'folder' which does
not work as it is a plain file on a remote SFTP share.
The problem does not exist for local files. I have not tested it with other
remote protocols like webdavs.
I cannot reproduce the problem with Okteta, here does the file open dialog
start in the right folder on the sftp share; thus I believe it is a
Kate-specific bug.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a first file via the sftp protocol.
2. File -> Open to get a File Open dialog
3. Error message with the filename of the first file opened in step 1 appears.
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message box appears as described.
EXPECTED RESULT
No error message. File open dialog shows directory on sftp share where
previously opened file resides.
