KateDialogs contains the following:

if (uiadv->edtBackupSuffix->text().isEmpty() && uiadv->edtBackupPrefix->text().isEmpty()) {
    KMessageBox::information(
        this,
        i18n("You did not provide a backup suffix or prefix. Using default suffix: '~'"),
        i18n("No Backup Suffix or Prefix")
    );
    uiadv->edtBackupSuffix->setText(QStringLiteral("~"));
}

Theoretically, if a variable exands to nothing (JS:..., ENV:...) we could still run into both empty prefix and suffix in katedocument.cpp.

Shall we wrap all this with

if (!(backupSuffix.isEmpty() && backupPrefix.isEmpty())) {...}

Why not, saves useless evals.

No: that's exactly the point: I currently don't think it's possible, but both evals could result in empty strings.

Can you do the integration? Author does not matter.
