Bug ID: 482692
Summary: "Close Other Documents" should maybe just apply to
current window
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.08.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I would like to suggest "Close Other Documents" should just apply to current
window, in my humble opinion. Or does anyone actually expect this to apply to
tabs on tab bars they didn't even click on and don't have in their view? (= in
other kate windows?) I sure found it surprising. Since I tend to open one
project per kate window and navigate each separately, it also severely hampers
the use of "Close Other Documents" since right now this breaks that separation
and makes me basically not want to ever use it. Maybe it's just me, but I feel
like maybe it's not.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kate
2. Use File > New Window to open 2nd window
3. Use File > Open Folder in both windows to open separate folders in each
4. Open various files from the file tree in both windows separately
5. In one window, right-click any of the multiple file tabs and click "Close
Other Documents"
OBSERVED RESULT
Tabs in the other window I'm not even dealing with right now suddenly close.
EXPECTED RESULT
Effect of this action is limited to current kate window and only the tab bar I
actually used it on.
