Description shift 2003-08-11 23:53:48 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0a5 (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-4-default

Usability: 

when i click on "Create New File..." in right-mouse-button menu of a certain target in certain automake subproject, first it asks me to select the file name and folder where i would like this file to be -- by default it suggest the folder of that sub-project, which is just what i would expect. 

but! on next screen it asks me to choose which target in which subproject should i include this file into, and by default is suggests me to add the file to the current "active" target. --- this is good for a case when i chose to "create new file" from the main application menu, but why asking that when i selected "Create new file" by right-clicking on a certain target -- i kinda already espressed my wish to add the file to this distinct target, and none else.

Doesn't this constitute a bug? I think so...
Comment 2 Andreas Pakulat 2007-02-23 21:31:06 UTC 
I too think this is a bug, even if this would still show the select-target-dialog it should preselect the selected target.

SVN commit 743306 by apaku:

Try harder to find a selected subproject/target pair for adding files. If anybody knew it was that easy this would've probably been fixed ages ago.
