Description Mathieu Jobin 2004-11-13 23:02:13 UTC
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9

I'd like to be able to simply right click on a folder in the tree view, and says "Add new file" which would be added to this specific location. 
 
 then, filename would be asked and file created. 

I already sent this request to Quanta, but this is also highly needed for kdevelop, I've been asking around and I've been suggested to create a separate bug for each project, instead of linking them.

for more info

see bug #93189

No!

It will not be implemented like that.

If you had a clue about build tools (Makefiles) you would understand why that can not work for KDevelop projects. A file must be associated with a target.

As for Quanta, I fully agree. I work with quanta too, and it makes sense there.

I disagree.

I fully agree with Amilcar when it comes to Automake and probably QMake. I have honestly no idea about ANT or what we attempt to do there, but it does make sense with Custom and Script project types.

I think a Add File dialog that simply does not add the file to the project makes sense and can be used by all project types as a context option on the FileTree.

what about Ruby or PHP project in kdevelop ? 

Comment 4 Mathieu Jobin 2005-08-09 21:47:13 UTC
Amilcar, no need to be rude.
and what ever happends in the back with projects, makefiles and targets, the front can still be presented as easy as "right click -> new file"
