Description Gus 2006-03-12 01:21:20 UTC 
Version:           3.2.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I would like to see an option in the ClassView or in the project/tool menus to change the name of a class, and the name of the .h/.cpp files. This is another one of the tools, which exists currently in the eclipse IDE, and it would be nice to see ported for KDevelop.

The tool in eclipse works by selecting the class, choosing a new class name and file names. The program will automatically search all the instances of the old names in the entire project and replace them with the new names.

this is called refactoring.
