Description Jiri Dluhos 2006-03-10 13:50:26 UTC

It seems that the kate editor no more accepts the '--nofork' option, which is useful for scripting, e.g. our w3d external-edit feature does not work without it.

'kate --nofork' just says that the option is unknown.

why would w3d use kate --nofork?

kate was a unique application and --nofork is basically a debug switch. And now that kate is no longer a unique app, it doesn't have this switch anymore.

Use kwrite if you want an editor with window per document - which always worked as what you emulate with kate --nofork

You are right, I am stupid; I just had 'kate --nofork' in my .zope-external-edit. When replaced with kwrite, it works correctly.
