Bug ID: 475210
Summary: Always create a tempfile / session file for new
documents
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.04.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: sessions
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
Afaik new documents are purely saved in RAM. Only when they are stored in a
location, the live changes are stored in a tempfile in the same dir.
What happens:
I created a new file and didnt save it yet. Set the Laptop to sleep, after
wakeup kscreenlock crashed, again, and I needed to force shutdown. the writing
was lost on reboot, no restore dialog as there was no tempfile.
What should happen:
Always create a tempfile in the KDE config dir or somewhere else. Maybe in
Home, and add it to a .hidden file or simply add a dot. This tempfile will then
allow restoring any previous document, not only if a saved one has a tempfile
in the same dir with some detected diffs.
This is crucial for Kates crash resistance. May have problems in the Flatpak
due to portals, so saving in a Kate-specific config dir should be better to
avoid any external storage write access
