Description Ray Kosby 2007-11-04 18:44:17 UTC 
Version:           1.5.8 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I found very little to control the style of the generated code.  I would like to be able to configure where the beginning curly bracket goes (ie on the next line down instead of on the same line as the function).  I also would like to configure spacing between the function identifier and it's argument list.

The question is whether it wouldn't be better to use an external formatter after creation, which is already possible yet. 

In the end this would mean that you would have to implement a formatter like astyle or uncrustify. 

There could be a new entry in the code generation page of the settings dialog to specify a custom shell script or batch file, which will be executed in the output directory after code generating.

Could something like this be "borrowed" from Qt Creator? I think they base the default style on KDevelop, IIRC.
