Open files in the same Kate instance from file manager

English Applications
#1

I use OpenSuse 11.1 with KDE4.2 updated daily from KDE4 Factory repo.

Since early winter when I started to use Suse 11 with KDE4.1 I had a
problem: there were no ability to open few files in the same Kate
instance from Dolphin or Krusader and so on (by Open with or by clicking
on the file in case I have filetype connected with Kate in system
settings).

The only way for me is to drag and drop files from file manager to
Kate.

As I can remember with KDE4.2Beta there was an workaround: setting
“X-DBUS-StartupType=None” or “Unique”… cannot recall exactly.
All was OK except error message from DBus when Kate was closed.

Now I cannot get success playing with these parameters.
And it’s so pity. I use Kate very often.

So, does anybody experience this kind of probs or is there any
solution?

Thanks

I am using the stable KDE4.2 version and Kate is working as normal.

I’ve found the same problem discussed in KDE forum. But they also have
no resolution.
