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.
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.

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 ;-)

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.
