Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-gentoo How about adding syntax highlighting for the results of "Search in Files" results? I think that for searching the KDE CVS for identifiers, and similar broad searching of sources, this would be very useful to easily scan through the returned code results of many source files.
No, I can't see this happening. I won't attempt to implement it and frankly, I can't see anyone else adding this to the current design. The grep plugins runs "find | grep" in a child process and returns the results. Implementing syntax highlighting would need concurrent access to all the files returned to determine mimetype and while alot of the needed code could probably be borrowed from Kate, this would quite clearly make the whole procedure alot slower and more complex. It's a nice wish, sure, but it borders on "pipe dream". The marginal functional improvement simply doesn't justify the complexity of the solution. Of course, anyone is welcome to try to prove me wrong. :) Closing as WONTFIX.
