Description Charles Samuels 2002-08-17 17:21:03 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kate
Version:           KDE 3.0.7 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The toplevel user interface mode is all wrong!

There shouldn't be the annoying floating window with the menu and toolbar the stuff there should be split between two windows:

Each Editor window should contain menu containing the appropriate stuff:
File->Save
File->Save As
Edit->Grep
Edit->Expand Text
(etc)

And the "Class Parser" window should contain all the tabs like it does in the normal mode however it should have a menu with the appropriate tabs:

Project->New
Project->Open
Project->Import
Debug->Start
Help->Man Page
(etc)

In addition the status bar should be moved to the editor window.  Both the editor window and the classparser could have a toolbar.

The editor windows don't appear on the status bar why is it called "toplevel" if they're not? :)

Please don't take any of my comments as personally I just would really like to start using KDevelop and it's just so close to what I want.

Sorry, no toplevel mode fixes are planned for KDevelop 3.4 because KMDI library and its UI modes are deprecated, please report this bug again if KDevelop 4 won't meet your requirements.
