Bug ID: 358281
Summary: Kate Fails to Persist "Mode" Associated with Edited
Files -- Feature Request (?)
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: syntax
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jus...@justinzane.com
Some filetype patterns, like '.*\.cfg', match 2 or more syntax and highlighting
modes -- like innumerable configuration files as well as Wesnoth Markup
LAnguage (WML) files. When I open a Wesnoth file and manually choose
'Tools/Mode/Markup/Wesnoth Markup Language'; I would like kate to remember that
association between '/path/to/a_wesnoth_file.cfg' and the selected mode. That
way, when editing a Wesnoth add-on, I do not have to set the mode by hand every
time I open the same file.
Of course, the Wesnoth usage is simply an example use case. It should be
helpful to anyone editing files with multiple possible modes. Thanks.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 'path/to/file'.
2. Set 'Tools/Mode/Foo/Bar'
3. Close file.
4. Reopen 'path/to/file'.
Currently: Must manually reselect mode.
Wanted: Kate reopens file with previously used mode.
