Description Patrick Girard 2003-10-05 19:35:40 UTC

Version:           Alpha 7 (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:          Linux

A Couple of things :

-The left Tabbar is always opened on starting kdevelop even if it was closed when kdevelop was exited the last time.

-The icon border column and line number border column disappear when i restart kdevelop..i need to F6 and F11 everytime i restart kdevelop

-And i was wondering if changing the Tabbar side.. lets say i would like to have my class viewer on the right instead of the left..is this something that will be possible?

Thanks. Kdevelop is looking great!

2) If you set it in the editor settings, it should persist between restarts. Unfortunately, 
there is no reasonable way for us to remember this in KDevelop, it has to be done 
through the editor (katepart) settings. 
 
3) WILL be possible, very likely, once the kmdi-based ui stabilizes. IDEAl mode as we 
know it will probably disappear then too. If this happens before 3.0 final, no idea.

2) Shouldnt it be possible for kdevelop to set it in katepart settings when say 
F6 is pressed?

Comment 3 Jens Dagerbo 2003-10-06 14:22:42 UTC

No, F6 is used to toggle the icon bar on/off for the active editor part. This is obviously 
not the same as "I want all editors in the future to default to this setting". If that is what 
you want, change it in the editor settings. 
 
Kate is an external application, embedded in and controlled from KDevelop, but we 
can't write to its settings file or really control any other functionality not exposed 
through the KTextEditor interface.

I think we can close this one. Regarding Nr. 1 it is a duplicate

Comment 5 Jens Dagerbo 2003-10-29 21:25:40 UTC

I see no reason to keep this one. Closing.
