Bug ID: 456502
Summary: External tools configuration lost
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: private_l...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On removing a single external tool definition, all of them are removed on next
start.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open preferences > external tools (haven't used those much - so they should
be pretty vanilla with defaults)
2. select entry "git blame" in the tree
3. click on "remove/delete" (translated back to English)
4. the node "git blame" (and only this node) is removed from the tree
5. check the menu extras > external programs looks fine (only one entry is
missing as intended)
6. shut Kate and reopen
OBSERVED RESULT
The sub-menu extras > external only offers a single entry for configuration.
And in the configuration, the tree is gone - completely blank except for one
node "uncategorized".
EXPECTED RESULT
Only the selected entry shall be removed, not all of them!
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Symptom seems very similar to bug 453272. Only I didn't type or edit any of
those external configurations. Also I don't have a folder ~/.config/kate or
~/.config/kate/externaltools
Comparing with my backup, I found a new file was created as
~/.config/kate-externaltoolspluginrc
It has only three lines:
---
[Global]
firststart=false
---
I renamed that file to kate-externaltoolspluginrc.bak and relaunched Kate -
that brings back all the external-tools definitions, including the "git blame",
that I tried to delete.
