Bug ID: 434065
Summary: It is not possible to open an inexisting file
Product: kate
Version: 20.12.3
Platform: Slackware Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I am the software developer and I need every day to create a new file in the
development tree. In KDE4 I have just selected any existing file in the
required directory, then I just opened a new file with the required name. And
all is done in 2 steps.
Now it becomes much more complicated. I have to
1. selected any existing file in the required directory
2. click "Open"
3. click "Cancel"
4. click "New"
5. click "Save" and enter the required name
So 2.5 times more steps. Besides I can not avoid the creation of the backup
copy since I have to save the file twice.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click "Open"
2. Fill the new name and click the button "Open"
OBSERVED RESULT
There is an alert "Can not open file" - "file not found"
EXPECTED RESULT
The window is closed and the new name is appeared in the file list. So when I
press the button "save" the file is created.
