There is only "Default session", so the running session, which
is the default session, will be saved as default.session in
kate/sessions/ (would be saved in default.session anyway, but
without your changes)
Making the initial tool view changes to the default session may be the
key. While I already had a default session, that is where I made the
initial changes and I have not had any issues with the memory loss
others are experiencing.
3) next time you start kate, it will find
default.session with your
saved changes concerning the view of docs list/side bar.
BUT: still strange is, that the second time I tried that, kate
would not let me save the freshly opened session, but popped up a
dialog to enter a name for the session to save. I then "opened"
from within kate "Default session" (the only one in the list)
I didn't have this issue because I had Kate configured to save
sessions on exit. I can confirm that manually saving the default
session (when it is the only session) can only be done after selecting
it from the Sessions menu.
