#38544: Kate cannot be launched from the command line -----------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: rob.edgerley@… | Owner: nicos@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: kate | -----------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by rob.edgerley@…): Hi, thanks for the reply! No, this doesn't really help. I don't see the advantage of launching kate via the terminal using: {{{ /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kate.app/Contents/MacOS/kate }}} over the method I have already noted. i.e. {{{ alias kate='open -a kate' }}} they both behave in the same, and both do not open the file I have specified to open. Your suggestion also seems to launch an additional terminal window. I simply want to launch kate using the terminal, as I already use it for most things. If it's not possible, it's ok, i'll just continue to use nedit. Thanks for taking the time to reply though! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38544#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
