Version: 3.0.1 (using KDE 3.2.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.23-workstation2 When adding new methods or attributes to class or, new class to the project. The wizard window is "modal" so that when it is open, I can not access other parts, e.g. the class view tree. This is not good setting I think for usrs may need to reference (methods in base class). For me, I have to write the information down to a paper first, and then go to the "add xyz" dialog. And why there is nowhere to input documents for methods and attributes in the wizard dialog? Thanks. xujian@cse.unsw.edu.au
AFAIK this is fixed in HEAD.
Using a few weeks old CVS version on KDE 3.4.0, this is not fixed: The "New Class" dialog is still modal. So I can use it only for the class name...
To clarify: If the class wizard would show you the list of member functions from the base class(es) having it modal would be ok right?
Giving more information may help but may still be insufficient. For example, I often need to "FIND" the base class and also explore the class inheritance diagram to make sure the new class is correctly designed. What is the design reason to make it a "modal" window?

But thats doable before even starting the wizard. > What is the design reason to make it a "modal" window? Making it modal disallows the user to change stuff behind the wizards back. I don't know the implementation off-hand, but its a lot easier for it if it can fetch the data it needs once instead of having to poll for it. Apart from the fact that not everything in KDevelop sends out a notification if something changes.
That's what I have described in the original bug report. I need to write things down to a paper for what I need to input to the wizard, which is inconvenient. And even I have a good memory and have planned before opening up the wizard, it often happens that I need to go back to the IDE for other information.
