Bug ID: 467314
Summary: Make it clearer auto-reload is per file (per session?)
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tomash...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When other program changes opened file, kate shows a helpful popup if I want to
reload it. It also has a button "Enable Auto Reload". This button is scary.
1 Will all files always autoreload?
2 Will this file always autoreload, even a year from now on?
3 Will it autoreload only until Kate is closed?
4 Will it autoreload only after the file is closed?
I always thought it is 1, I wanted to open a wishlist item so it could be 3,
but now upon my testing and seeing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448903
I think it is 4.
There is a tooltip saying "Will never again warn about on disk changes but
always reload." - I think it is misleading, "will never again" sounds rather
definitive.
I think better texting would be: "Will not warn about on disk changes but will
reload until the file is closed."
