           Summary: read-only files: disallow editing
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The current policy is: allow editing, disallow saving.
The wished policy is: disallow editing and saving.

Why? It is more natural to not being able to edit non-editable file, user should only \
view it.

If there is need of "alteration" of the file (impossible of course) user should \
save-as the file first and then edit the saved file.

The wished behaviour is similar to OOffice (for example, the current one to MC -- and \
while I didn't edit any system files with Kate, I did it with MC and this was all the \
time annoying (edit -> oh, I cannot save -> save as -> root -> copy).

So, if the file is read-only act in read-only mode as soon as possible.
