Version: 2.1 (using KDE 3.1.1) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.18 Almost the only thing I miss in Kate is the possibility of displaying the file list as a tree. Sometimes I need to work with several files that have the same name in different folders. For example, index.html is very common. Having a tree view would make it much clear what file is what. Alternatively, a folder column could be added to the file list.
I just posted a similar point, along with a longer rant, up on the kwrite-devel list. A copy of what I stated there... ------------------------------------------------------------------- File Browsing: This is one feature that JEdit nails, Kate comes close, and NEdit stinks at. JEdit provides a basic tree'd view of folders with file below. In that respect, not much different than how Quanta does this. Biggest difference is that when you double click a folder, that folder becomes the root view in the file pane. This allows me to both focus on just the folders I'm working on, while still showing me the bigger picture of the structure I'm in. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I personally feel this is a better approach than what you're proposing in this bug, only for the fact that it only needs a single pane to do this in.

Please please please do this! I was using Eclipse to edit a C++ project just for this feature... all that bloat of eclipse just to have a treed file browser and tabs overhead. Its so nice. BTW, tabs overhead or the ability to view the document list as a tab list would also be nice. Also: having it open an "untitled" file when no file is open is annoying. This should be able to be disabled. But these things are minor. Trees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any update on this? I was actually planning on doing this in the next week or two. I just rebuilt kate from trunk, in fact.
Just found this: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=60026
I think the plugin is a good start, but the functionality is a bit limited - - Missing the filtering that the regular filebrowsing tab has. - No right-click menu or functionality - No way to set a node as the root - such as a particular project or network drive - It would be nice to share the existing bookmarks in the filebrowsing tab.
Hi people, I am the author of katefiletree plugin. Nigel Stewart notified me about this bug/wishlist about trees in kate :). To make it short. By looking on my current time management, and my current C++/Qt skill, it is pretty much impossible for me to take this plugin into a fully usable state. So, hereby, I am stating that I'll be honoured to see you, great people, take this plugin into a whole new level. Nigel said, it should/must be ported to KDE4. I would definitely say it would be great! My initial intention was to have a similar tree we can found in KDevelop. But if I may suggest, we may want also to see what others have implemented in other IDE, eg: netbeans, eclipse, etc. Regards, Akhmad Fathonih (neofreko)
There is a treeview available in the file system browser for KDE 4.2, maybe even earlier. However, this is the file system browser, not the Documents tab.
plain filesystem representation is a no go. Vadim requested grouping of opened files based on their location
please include this in standard KDE most programmers (read kate users) needs a tree view when working on their project. there is already a plugin done for kate 4.x http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/kate+treeview+plugin?content=80940 http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-12-21-1/ just include it, thanks
@Mathieu: This is already in KDE 4.2 available in the file system browser plugin. So the links you refer to are definitely not needed. As already mentionen: This bug report is about the *Documents* tab.
I agree to the Arguments and as long as i'm mostly working with the "light" editors like kate/kwrite, i know about the irritatng list with all the same names like index.html in it. But i wonder whether this should be assigned to kate.
whether ... to kate or kwrite ;-)
fact is, there is no need for both a document and a tree view tab.
@Thomas: I'm all for closing this as fixed, since your file tree Documents tab now optionally shows the files in a tree structure. Do you agree?
