Cannot import color schemes with kate 14.12.1

Could someone please confirm that with the newer version of kate it's impossible to import color schemes (.kateschema files)?

To import a scheme the standard procedure is:

Settings -> configure kate -> fonts & colors -> import...

However, when I check the directory where my schemes reside kate does not see the files. I checked bko but I have not found any bug about this issue.

I guess you are referring to kate 14.12. I can confirm it.

Also the open file dialog isn't the dolphin one. Also you can;t choose the encoding when saving a file. Can you confirm it too?

It seems the new kate isn't ready  for usage.

Works for me. I downloaded the schema from http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ni … ent=163613 and could install it correctly.

confirmed.

Works for me.

I tried with the same scheme you linked and it didn't work... I copy/pasted the text into kate and saved it as nightsky.kateschema, then tried to import it but it did not work. Did you do something different or (just asking) are you running the git version of kate or some other component?

I'm using the 14.12.1 version from [extra]. Settings -> editor component -> Fonts & colors -> Import, select nightsky-wip.kateschema. I get some warning messages, but it is imported correctly.

Ok, thanks for testing it.

So after some depeer investigation it seems to me that the problem is not in kate itself but in the file dialog that does not see the .kateschema file. So this problem and the one about the encoding reported by firewalker may be related after all.

Anyway, I copied the kateschemarc file from my old .kde4 directory (where I had my custom theme already imported) to the .config directory and then I was able to set it as the default theme.

I confirm that it doesn't appear in the file selector, but if we put the entire path it will load the schema.
