Curious if anyone knows this, does it use the same buffering system as N++? Meaning, if I open a log file in N++ that is still being written to it never has an issue with blocking the program writing to the file since (it seems) to open it in a separate buffer that can get updated as the file does. A very handy feature for the logs I use, and if Kate can do that I’m all in.
I will test it myself obv, but perhaps someone will be able to answer before I’m able to test, and then also the information will be here :)












I can verify that it appears to work similar to N++ on a Windows install. Another program can ‘own’ the file being open and Kate will be able to have it open and read in new changes. Very cool! New tool for the toolbox
