Bug ID: 367931
Summary: Kate has no ability to save files that require root
access if not started as root or sudo
Product: kate
Version: 16.04.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rbu...@protonmail.com
When opening a file as a normal user that does not have write access to said
file (ex. a configuration file in /etc), there is no way to save the file
without restarting Kate with sudo.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file you do not have write access to.
2. Make a change
3. Attempt to save file
Actual Results:
The following error message is displayed.
The document could not be saved, as it was not possible to write to
/etc/wgetrc.
Check that you have write access to this file or that enough disk space is
available.
Expected Results:
Kate to pop up a request for the sudo password and properly save the file.
There are text editors that perform this functionality flawlessly (like
sublime) and is really the only reason I do not use Kate as my default text
editor.
