Bug ID: 372638
Summary: "the file was created by another program"
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: 5.27.0
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Maybe it's because of the new kind of external modification alerts, but I find
the message that "the file X has been created by another program" quite weird
when I know that I've been having this file open possibly even for days in the
same editor that posts the alert.
While the message may be technically correct when some other application
replaced the file with an edited version it isn't how we think of it
semantically. What counts for the user is whether the document contents have
changed on disk compared to what is in the editor buffer.
OTOH, the message may in fact be correct if the document was indeed created by
another application (tar, for instance), but that's hardly relevant to the
situation to which the alert draws attention.
