Bug ID: 474461
Summary: Search in files in folder: support ~ (tilde)
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.08.0
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: groszdaniel...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the Search plugin in In Folder mode, the Folder field should support ~ and
~username to specify the current or another user's home directory.
It's especially confusing that it's currently unsupported because text
completion in the field does show subdirectories of directories specified with
~ or ~username.
It would also be a good idea to show an error (e.g. make the field red) if the
starting path doesn't exist or is invalid.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Search sidebar.
2. Set the mode to In Folder.
3. Specify ~, or a path starting with ~.
4. Click Search.
OBSERVED RESULT
The search result will be empty.
EXPECTED RESULT
Search in the path specified inside the home directory.
Alternatively, don't have completion complete paths as if ~ is interpreted as
the home directory, and show an error if the search path doesn't exist.
