--- Comment #13 from Friedrich W. H. Kossebau <kosse...@kde.org> --- For a start I opened a bug now upstream for QSaveFile: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56366, "QSaveFile results in loss of extended file attributes and change of file ownership" For some intermediate work-around in Kate::TextBuffer I still have to learn more about stuff and system APIs that would be used, hope to look into it the next days more. Controlling file ownership though might be a unsolvable one. As there are some users who might value to no lose ownership data or hard links over support for transactional saving, perhaps there could be some flag somewhere in the KTextEditor API which allows to control this and which could also be forwarded into the Kate module config GUI? At least I have never experienced any problems with incomplete writes, but this bug needs me to do lots of fixups whenever I use KWrite, Kate & KDevelop with system settings or in special development setups. So I would instantly toggle such a setting :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
