Bug#598443: kate: Kate reuses instances even without the -u option.
Package: kate Version: 4:4.4.5-1 Severity: important Tags: d-i upstream I need to run multiple Kate instances from the command line. I expect `kate file1` followed by `kate file2` to open two separate kate instances since those commands NOT include the `-u` flag. However, it *always* opens up in the already open instance even without that flag. Perhaps I'm missing something? Or there's some kind of alias somewhere on my system that replaces `kate` with `kate -u`? I certainly can't find it, if so. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kate depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libkde3support4 4:4.4.5-1the KDE 3 Support Library for the ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-1the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-1the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkfile4 4:4.4.5-1the File Selection Dialog Library ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-1the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libknewstuff2-4 4:4.4.5-1the "Get Hot New Stuff" v2 Library ii libknewstuff3-4 4:4.4.5-1the "Get Hot New Stuff" v3 Library ii libkparts4 4:4.4.5-1the Framework for the KDE Platform ii libktexteditor4 4:4.4.5-1the KTextEditor interfaces for the ii libplasma3 4:4.4.5-1the Plasma Library for the KDE Pla ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-qt3support 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-1+b1 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 kate recommends no packages.

The default behaviour of kate seems to have changed between 4.3 and 4.4. Have a look at "kate --help": > -n, --new Force start of a new kate instance (is > ignored if start is used and another kate instance already has the > given session opened), forced if no parameters and no URLs are given > at all > > [...] > > -u, --use Reuse existing Kate instance; default, only > for compatibility So "kate" starts a new instance, "kate somefile" reuses an existing instance, "kate -n somefile" forces start of a new kate instance. As documented, -u is default behaviour, the option is only left for compatibility reasons. Does that answer your question?

OK, then I should change the name and description of the bug: "Kate's manual page is hopelessly out of date!" :) > Does that answer your question? Yes, thank you.
