Bug Description

Guys,

every time i use Kate 3.0.2 (KDE 4 version) on Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy KDE 4 Beta, i have to enable the plugins like "find in files" and "terminal" (Kate settings > Plugins). It should be saved and automatically loaded all times.

regards,

massa

Did you invoke kate by the menu or by opening a file from Dolphin? I had the same problem, but when I started kate from the menu and enabled the plugin, it was saved; just not, when I opened kate from Dolphin.

I can confirm. I have the same problem. Strangely Kate does remember plugins when I reopen it, but it forgets them after restart. Version 3.1.2

Harald,

I will mark the first one as you asked on "Watch Another Project", since the rest might be considered duplicates.

I checked it with Kate 3.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2). Now it remembers plugins if Kate is started from menu, but does not remember them if it is started from konqueror.

I believe I have solved this, but would like feedback before closing the bug.

This bug appears to be the result of the new way in which Kate handles plugins and settings, which is called "sessions".
When using sessions, the plugins will change dynamically based upon the file opened. This however must be manually configured by the user and the default session has no plugins enabled.

If you want to have a set of default plugins that are loaded every time Kate is run, then enable all the plugins you would like to have in your default session. After this, select "sessions" from the menu, then select "save as default". This will cause Kate to keep your plugins preferences.

Alternatively Kate can be reconfigured to the "old behavior" by following the recommendations of the Kate handbook.
