           Summary: Kate check remote files overwrite
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: part
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel@kde.org
        ReportedBy: leif@dkstat.com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Kate doesn't check if it's overwriting remote files.  I realize this is probably done \
for performance reasons (and maybe because KIO::NetAccess::exists lies) but this is \
BAD.

This difference in behaviour contributes to the feeling of "flakiness" when using \
network transparency under KDE.

The relavent portion of the code is in kdelibs/kate/part/kateview.cpp:

bool KateView::checkOverwrite( KURL u )
{
  if( !u.isLocalFile() )
    return true;

  QFileInfo info( u.path() );
  if( !info.exists() )
    return true;


The check at the top could be removed and the second part could be changed to

if (!KIO::NetAccess::exists( u ))
   return true;

If KIO::NetAccess::exists were a little more trustworthy.
