Bug ID: 455196
Summary: Cannot open subdirectory of Git repository as project
Product: kate
Version: 22.04.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nyanpas...@tuta.io
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I tell Kate to "Open Folder" and give it a subdirectory of a Git repo, it
treats the entire Git repo as a project, even though I want to only open/search
files within a subdirectory.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run `kate git-repo/subdirectory`.
2. Alternatively run `kate`, click File -> Open Folder, and pick a subdirectory
within a Git repo.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Git repo's top-level folder is treated as the project folder. Project-level
find and Quick Open search through far more files than I want.
In my case, the Git repo is https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages, and
when I tell Kate to browse the contents of a single extracted tarball, it
instead tries to search every single Void package's build scripts, plus the
source code of every single project I've cloned/built locally.
EXPECTED RESULT
The folder I passed into Kate is treated as the project folder.
