Description Holger Schröder 2003-11-13 14:29:42 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0b1 (using KDE 3.1.92 (CVS >= 20031007), Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-xfs-r2

Hi,

i just updated to kdevelop head four days ago, and now i miss any visual feedback, if a file is in the state, as it is saved on disk, or if it was changed after that.

before an icon in the tab was there if a file was changed.

i would like to have two different icons, for example the icon we have now for saved files, and some slightly different icon showing that the file was changed.

thanks, Holger
Comment 1 Jens Dagerbo 2003-11-13 14:43:51 UTC 
Right. It got lost in the move to KMDI based IDEAl, as it was only(?) implemented in "classic IDEAl".

Note that if you are using katepart (and are running at least KDE-3.1.0), you will have a '*' in the statusbar if the file in question is modified since the last save.
Comment 2 Amilcar do Carmo Lucas 2003-11-13 20:45:07 UTC 
Valid for IDEAl and all other UI modes as well IMHO
Comment 3 Jens Dagerbo 2003-11-13 22:22:16 UTC 
Debatable if this can even be called a bug, as in the current code the feature was never implemented.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58572 ***
Comment 5 Christian Prochnow 2003-12-16 22:31:27 UTC 
this bug isn't a duplicate of bug #58572. 
bug #58572 talks about notification if a file has changed _outside_ of KDevelop - this bug talks about visual notify if a file has changed _inside_ of KDevelop.

i recently tried Kdevelop 3.0 beta2 and there is only _little_ visual feedback on the status bar if a file has changed inside of KDevelop. 
before beta2 i think it was also visible in the application title and in the MDI tab of the file. (or did'nt i remember correctly ?)
Comment 6 Jens Dagerbo 2003-12-16 22:44:38 UTC 
You're right, this isn't a dupe of #58572.

Notification was available in the tabbar in the old IDEAl implementation, but has so far not been put back into the new implementation. Work is in progress, hopefully in CVS before christmas.. :)

Reopening for the time being, the report is at the moment correct.
Comment 7 Jens Dagerbo 2004-01-10 00:09:30 UTC 
Fixed. (At least for katepart.)
Comment 8 Niels 2004-08-25 15:58:52 UTC 
Using 3.1.0 I don't see this as fixed. Maybe I'm missing something, or have the wrong settings. I'd very much like the icons on the tabs to show the saved / unsaved state for each open file. I'm pretty sure 3.0 did that.
Comment 9 Jens Dagerbo 2004-08-28 23:30:26 UTC 
Niels, are you using katepart (aka "Advanced Embedded Text Editor")? What KDE version?
