In KDE 3 I was able to configure Kate to always open new instances in an existing instance, with the new file listed in the Documents sidebar. I do not remember the exact options used, but it worked. In KDE 4.2.3 (Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE PPA) I am unable to configure this. Googling led me to this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191846 Is it really the case that in KDE 4.x Kate cannot have a single instance? Note: I do not want to have a session restored when opening Kate for the first time, which is the only workaround that I've found thus far. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
