Does this option work? I have the option disabled.
Kate still reminds when a file is changed.
Also, does KWrite have the same option or does KWrite
inherit that option through the Kate KParts? KWrite also keeps displaying these reminders.
Would somebody else confirm this behavior?
I have also the option disabled and it only opens a warning box when the file is displayed on the screen. That's the intended behavior. See: help:/kate/config-dialog.html#config-dialog-general
But this option is misnamed, I think.
My preferred action is to have Kate notify me when a file changes, but I do not want KWrite to ever notify. Yet sometimes I want to use Kate and want to disable that monitoring.
Sometimes I want to study a file under continuous change. I won't use Kate for that. For example, when I want to study the first part of a build log. Because KWrite seems to be tied to Kate KParts, KWrite notifies me when the file changes. So then I resort to KEdit.
According to the Help file, Kate always warns about changed files, but changes the method of notification. I don't like that. There needs to be a way to view a file statically like the brain dead KEdit.
KWrite needs its own setting that does not depend upon Kate KParts. I prefer KWrite over KEdit for syntax highlighting and a better search/replace interface, but I dislike being interrupted all the time.
Is there a better way?
