At some point in the last year, kate started behaving differently here: when
it opens a file for editing, there is now an extra column to the left of the
contents of the file; the extra column shows the name of the file being
edited. I can remove this extra column by hitting the word "Documents" which
appears (rendered vertically) at the extreme left of the kate window.
But I do get fed up of having to do this every single time I open a file for
editing in kate.
So how do I configure kate so that this additional column with the name of the
file being edited no longer appears when kate opens a file for editing?
(I looked at the kate configuration file, but nothing obvious struck me;
searching the Internet also didn't produce anything useful that addresses
this, but it's perfectly possible that I wasn't using a very good search string.)

I remember that I looked for that years ago, but did not find it either. I think it was
possible ages ago to create a new session and all settings where saved in that session -
but I just tried, but it does not work: kate crashes when switching sessions (I have 2
"unknown"), or does not save sessions, or crashes when saving sessions if the
document windows is hidden. So probably it's time for a bug report :)

A new session is never saved, it's just added to the "select session" menu.
Neither file nor config are altered.

try's, it, its finished instantly but when I go looking for the pix on

the sliced file as gcode, may take 5 minutes, with no wheel spinning
visible before it finally opens the save file requestor and I go click
thru the directories leading to where I want to save it.
Thunderbird, which wants to save a msg at 30 sec intervals, fails the
save about 1 in 20 times and a retry always works. Once, maybe twice in
the same blue moon, I'll see a perms failure in the shell I launch
digiKam from. Inconsistant is the kindest description I can muster on a
mixed list. I'd call it exasperating if I'm PC enough but that would be
a huge understatement. I tried to setup the new kmail, but it can't save
the account data, and does not report any errors when it fails.
If you've any ideas about how to fix this, throw them at me.
Is there a trick I can put in /etc/fstab to force an fsck on this raid10

just a WAG, no science involved. And when I ask about it on the debian

Well, it does install and work fine, as I am sure many users can confirm :-)
Dependency issues may be due to outdated packages from the past or some other reasons. But
TDE does indeed install in
clean debian environments.

ATM, I'm still trying to figure out bookworm. Its install was forced on
me by a bullseye update that nuked my passwd, locking me out of the
system since I use sudo for root things. I still do. bookworm seems to
have a new acl policy, resulting in my not having write privs for nearly
2 T of /home/me/Pictures on a 4T raid10 of samsung 1t SSD's. The latest
weekly build of digiKam can see my Pictures and Photos directories and
can see the pix on my camera, even sorting them into new for download,
but cannot download, shotwell can but is best described as a pita to
use. I do a lot of design work in openscad, sending the result to Cura
for slicing wich cura does well, but when its time to save that sliced
gcode, it may take several minutes after I click save for the file
requester to show up, and it shows up first in the tool bar at the
bottom of the screen, requiring an extra click on that to actually open
the requestor. In short, usability sucks dead toads thru soda straws.
I think some of kde plasma is being funkity, as I have a bottom toolbar
full of generic icons that are not assigned to launch anything but more
of them and no way to remove them. The icon for thunderbird says "TDE -
Mozilla" as line 1 beside the round icon, and "Thunderbird" on line 2,
and 2 more copies that seem to be associated with this message composer.
And synaptic does not appear to have any tde entry's to install. At the
very minimum I would like to get rid of tbird since its sorting filter
only work for certain phases of the moon with no errors reported when
they don't work. Buggiest piece of sw I have tangled with since I put
linux on a k6 cpu in 1998.
So I assume the first order is to add the tde r14 repo's to the apt
sources lists. Can you supply that repo line please?
Thanks Michele, take care and stay well.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Everyone else claims it just works, without the
dependency
problems I'm seeing. ??
Well, it does install and work fine, as I am sure many users can confirm
:-)
Dependency issues may be due to outdated packages from the past or some
other reasons. But TDE does indeed install in clean debian environments.

If it works for you, I would suggest a clean bookworm installation without other DEs and
then add TDE.
You can find the TDE installation instructions here:

Thanks, you too!

At some point in the last year, kate started behaving
differently here: when it opens a file for editing, there is now
an extra column to the left of the contents of the file; the extra column shows the name
of the file being edited. I can
remove this extra column by hitting the word "Documents" which appears
(rendered vertically) at the extreme left of the
kate window.
But I do get fed up of having to do this every single time I open a file for editing in
kate.
So how do I configure kate so that this additional column with the name of the file being
edited no longer appears when
kate opens a file for editing?
(I looked at the kate configuration file, but nothing obvious struck me; searching the
Internet also didn't produce
anything useful that addresses this, but it's perfectly possible that I wasn't
using a very good search string.)

Can you post a screenshot showing the problem? Most likely need to save a default session
with the config you would like
to have.

Your hint about sessions was enough for me to (I think) fix the problem.
I, frankly, have never understood kate sessions... they seem a complication
that I have no interest in, but there doesn't seem to be any way to tell kate
not to use them.
Anyway, I looked at the "Sessions | Select session" menu, and up popped >300
"Unnamed" entries.
So I manually cleaned up the session directory and edited the sessions.list
file to contain only one entry, then made sure that kate saves the session
when it exits, and removed the unwanted left-hand column and exited kate. The
next time I started kate, everything looked (and continues to look) the way I
want it to. So thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction.

Sessions are a way to save your workspace, so that you can exit Kate, reopen it and
continue from where you left off.
You can think of session as "workspace" or "project".
They can be enable/disabled through settings and starting from R14.1.0 there is a very
convenient session panel for
managing multiple sessions. R14.0.x session experience was quite awful instead.
