Version: 3.0.0a7 (using KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test8 I'm almost hesitant to report this after reporting http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65348 and finding out I just hadn't found it yet. However, there really seems to be no way to remove a file from a custom project via the GUI in a custom project. (One not using Automake, ANT, or QMake) I would expect it to be right below (or above) the option to 'Add to Project: $FileName$' (which is changing format per Bug 65348). I have found that even removing the file from the filesystem still leaves the file in the project list. I am not sure this matters very much, since in a custom project linking is controlled elsewhere. The only thing that I can think of is that kdevelop will waste time attempting to scan these files for objects and failing.
Try CVS head I think it's fixed there.
Actually the answer to a similar bug 66879 covers this one as well. The file tree plugin was not turned on in my project. (As stated in that bug, I think this ought to be default: would have saved me a bunch of bug reporting.)
