Bug ID: 472840
Summary: Kate hides files in Project view due to .gitignore
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.04.3
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: giovannisantin...@yahoo.it
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I tried to use Kate for editing my Arch packages Git repository:
https://github.com/ItachiSan/linux_packaging
When opening the relevant folder in Kate, the files excluded from Git via
.gitignore are completely missing in the Project view.
I would expect them to be colored as hidden, however I have no way to access
them if not by activating the File System plugin, which is subpar.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a cloned Git repository
OBSERVED RESULT
The files ignored via .gitignore are completely hidden in the UI.
There is no setting nor toggle for enabling their visualization.
EXPECTED RESULT
Make the files visible, with a slight different color that shows they are
gitignored.
Allow hiding them via a toggle or a plugin settings.
