New Kate session panel (was [Re: [trinity-users] Re: Re: Kate can't remember to 'Hide Documents'r])
Emanoil, actually the code to handle sessions for R14.1 has been fully rewritten, although not pushed yet. If you are interested, I can send you a patch with all the current changes and you can test locally. It would be helpful to have additional feedback from you. I have been using the new functionality for about a year and is quite stable. Let me know ;-)
Cheers Michele
I build this on jessie some time ago
dpkg -l | grep kate ii kate-plugins-trinity 4:14.1.0-0debian8.0.5+eko1 amd64 plugins for Kate, the TDE Advanced Text Editor ii kate-trinity 4:14.1.0-0debian8.0.5+eko1 amd64 advanced text editor for TDE ii libkate1 0.4.1-4 amd64 Codec for karaoke and text encapsulation
Do you mean we are using later version and do not see the problems that are discussed here?
I did not see any difference (IMO) from user perspective.
Hi Emanoil, sorry for the late reply to this (too busy with work, family and trying to fix TDE support for openssl 1.1 in stretch). Attached is a cumulative patch for tdebase that you can use to preview the new Kate session panel I mentioned before. You can apply the patch again the current main trunk. This will add a new session panel to Kate and rework session support almost entirely. I am actually planning more work on this (to add support for files in sessions as well, making it similar to a mini-project manager) but will probably be delayed to R14.2 or whatever.
!!! Please NOTE the following !!! - all existing Kate sessions will be imported - the "default session" is no longer hardwired and actually does not really need to exist any more (it can be renamed/delete) - after you finish your testing, if you want to go back to the existing Kate (without the new session panel), you will NOT be able to use the session files from Kate-with-the-session-panel. Therefore if you just want to do a test, I recommend you save all you session files (~/.trinity/share/apps/kate/sessions folder) before you use the new Kate.
So far I have used this for about a year (through development) and have not yet pushed the code to the main repo. Any feedback from you (or anyone else willing to test) would be more than welcome. If positive enough, I will probably push the changes.
Cheers Michele

Hi, so from what I understand risk is low. I'll put it on todo and look forward to push the patch locally when I rebuild tdebase next time. I am not sure how it will look like from time perspective - means I can not promise this will be done in short terms. I am pretty happy with how it works at the moment BTW.
regards

No problem, test when it is convenient for you. I have been waiting to push for months, a little longer won't make much difference ;-) Cheers Michele

My impression is that it looks fine and works fine. I also have the feeling that now on shutdown it takes a bit longer to exit. Is it saving all sessions on the row? My impression could be subjective though.

Thanks for testing Emanoil. On shutdown the current session is saved (provided the "Save session on exit" option is enabled) and the sessions list index file is saved (which did not exist in previous Kate). This file is very small though, so it should not give much more overhead. Everything else is the same. The session status is also saved when switching to another session.
If you had a quick look through the code, you will find a lot of "FIXME": this are mainly intended as remainded of things to do (more a TODO than a FIXME, but TODO sometimes go overlooked ;-) ). There is still a lot of work to do, but this is the first wirkable milestone and IMO makes working with sessions much easier.
After Slavek and I finish with the openssl migration, I will probably push this to GIT, so it becomes available to everyone interested.
Cheers Michele
