Bug ID: 417507
Summary: Kate ignores new mode/filetypes
Product: kate
Version: 19.12.2
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: a.j.b...@bath.ac.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Adding new, custom modes/filetypes to Kate no longer seems to work
STEPS TO REPRODUCE via GUI
1. Go to Settings, Configure Kate, Open/Save, Modes & Filetypes
2. Click 'New'. (Nothing happens.)
3. Click 'New' again. Now 'New Filetype' is shown.
4. Fill out the form with some details. I tried it for .tsv tab separated
values.
5. Click Apply.
OBSERVED RESULT
'New Filetype' remains as the value of the 'Filetype' dropdown. The new entry
cannot be found in any of the menus. It is not respected when a file of that
type is opened.
The entry does get added to ~/.config/katemoderc. But if Kate is closed and
reopened, and a second new entry is added in the same way, the first new entry
is erased.
EXPECTED RESULT
The new entry name should appear in the 'Filetype' dropdown, be available for
selection from the menus, and be respected when a file is opened. The entry for
it in ~/.config/katemoderc should persist until the user deletes it.
