Bug ID: 365705
Summary: KWrite ignores .kateconfig eol option
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jennifer...@yahoo.com
In Settings --> Configure Editor --> Open/Save I have end of line set to UNIX.
In /ddisk/.kateconfig I had "eol dos", "Kate: eol dos", or "// Kate: eol dos"
(I tried it all three ways). If I create a new file with KWrite and save it,
it is save with unix-style end-of-lines (\n, not \r\n).
If I open an existing file and select Tools --> End of line, it always shows up
as UNIX. My expectation is that any file saved under /ddisk (a mounted
partition shared with Windows) should be saved with \r\n at the end of each
line. Specifically, .kateconfig should override Settings --> Configure Editor
--> Open/Save --> End of line.
Automatic end of line detection is unchecked.
I'm using KWrite 4.14.2 (there is no option in the drop-down box for 4.14.2 and
there is no text box to enter the version manually).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Settings --> Configure Editor --> Open/Save --> End of line to UNIX.
2. In a top-level directory, save a .kateconfig file containing "eol unix".
3. Save a file there, or edit an existing file and save it.
4. Examine this file with a hex editor such as Bless.
Actual Results:
End of lines showed up as hex 0A.
Expected Results:
End of lines should show up as hex 0D0A.
I'm running Debian Jessie with the MATE desktop. I installed KWrite, which
pulled in katepart and a lot of other stuff, but I didn't install Kate proper.
The ability to save files with either UNIX or DOS end-of-lines, depending on
where I save it, is important to me.
