Okay, I tried this, but it's not working for me. Here's what I did and what happened: 1) I renamed ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate to ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate~ 2) I started kate (using its icon), then closed it. kate created a new apps directory, with an empty sessions subdirectory. 3) I restarted kate and it still shows the sidebar with the file names. 4) I tried creating and saving a dummy file to make kate create a session, but its sessions subdirectory remains empty. :-( On 2016-12-17 09:16:20 Stefan Krusche wrote: > After a little experimenting I found this workaround: > > 1) Start with pristine kate config dir > > cp ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate{,orig} > > 2) Open kate with no arguments and close it > > 3) Open ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate/sessions/default.session with an editor > and change these options to "false" and save file. > Kate-MDI-Sidebar-Visible=false > Kate-MDI-ToolView-kate_filelist-Visible=false > > 4) Next time you open kate it will neither show the side bar nor the > document list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
