• Loading Remote Files

    by  • November 5, 2012 • Developers, Users • 7 Comments

    Loading huge files over the internet may take quite a long time. In KDE 4.10, Kate Part will show a passive message after 1 second that tells you the file is still being loaded, and, if wanted, the user can abort the loading process. It looks like this:

    This also fixes bug #128273. Again, cookies go to Christoph ;)

      Recently it happened to me that the box didn’t disappear even after the file was loaded, would be nice if that could be fixed too. ;)

        What do you mean by “recently”? Did you test this already?

        You should `git pull –rebase` again. I’m pretty sure it’s fixed.
