- close the documents list (and/or side bar), save the session.
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.
- 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.
