I can only say that I do prefer the clunky old dialog over the new UI, both in terms of functionality and usability. I just tested a newer version of kate (22.08.2) and changed opened files externally under various circumstances. I didn't encounter the new UI, which is weird. Instead it showed the old file modification dialog in some situations, while it strangely just hard reloaded automatically in other situations. Does that mean you returned to the old dialog? I also remember trying to fix some file modification bugs. I found some problems (including race conditions), which eventually just made me disable the code that tries to filter "false positive" modification notifications. Noisier, but removed some even more annoying bugs that sometimes happened. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
