[gentoo-user] Kate doesn't reuse existing process anymore with kde 3.5.0?

Hi all,

I just updated kde to 3.5.0.

One thing I noticed with Kate is that when I type in konsole: kate
somefile, it spawns another kate process and not reuse the already
running kate.

This used to happen with 3.4.0 I had before.

Is this some new configuration? Can I change the current behavior to
reuse an already started kate?


Thanks in advance.

Try kate -u filename

kate --help shows this option:
 -u, --use                 Use a already running kate instance (if possible)

I have this same problem. Earlier on opening a file from konqueror or any 
where else the kate used to open it in the already open instance. How to make 
that behaviour default? How to get back that functionality. I thought that I 
messed something up but now it looks like everyone is facing this problem.

There doesn't appear to be an option in Kate to make the old behaviour
default, but you can change the way Konqueror and other KDE applications
call Kate. Go to the Control Centre -> KDE components -> File
associations and select text/plain. Select Kate, press Edit, go to the
Application tab and change the command from "kate %U" to "kate --use %U".

That doesn't work :(
It shows error saying "KDEInit could not launch kate".

I've just tried it on another box, and I do get that error when opening
a second file, but checking kate shows that it does have both files
loaded.

Ah...you are right. The files did get opened but that error pop (and that too 
twice) is quite annoying. I even tried to rename kate to kate.bin and created 
a script with name kate which calls kate.bin with --use option but that also 
gives the same error.

I don't quite understand what made KDE developers withdraw such an excellent 
feature. God knows what goes in developers mind *sigh*

I tried a slightly different approach, leaving kate alone and creating a
file called mykate

#!/bin/sh
kate --use $* &>/dev/null &

I set the text/plain file type to call this with only %U as an argument,
and it works without annoying messages.

It baffles me.

Thanks for looking into this :)
This works but why is it so slow in launching? The first instance loads 
instantaneously but the second one is quite slow. Any ideas?

It takes around a second to load the first file, and kate itself, here.
Subsequent files are loaded instantly.

Hmmm, thanks. That worked. But as already said, I'd like to get -u
behavior as default :(

I will create a script to append the -u option to me for while :)

You can always file a bug in bugs.kde.org to request this to be
configurable. As usual first check that the bug does not already exist.

While filing the bug I found a related bug and the fix is said to be committed 
to svn. Here it is
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119146

Is there any chance that Gentoo developers could commit this fix to the 
portage, even though it is still in SVN? What should I do to confirm?

Abhay

Unlikely: search bugs.gentoo.org for similar kde bugs and you'll see 
they get marked UPST (upstream).  Normally only security stuff is 
applied immediately, most other bug fixes will arrive with the next 
release of KDE.

If you can't wait, the normal procedure is to make yourself an 
overlay, include the patch there, and re-emerge the package.
