I'm not sure yet wether we'll implement it. We don't want to provide a lot of GUI for the buildsystems because that usually ends up in a totally unusable/cluttered Ui. CMake is just too complex. What could be done here is allowing the drag of files into a target item and eventually onto a folder item. However this will need an additional dialog then, to ask: - to which target to add (except in the drop-on-target case) - copy/move/link/reference the file (where reference just means putting the relative path into the cmake file - allowing post-editing by the user in case he wants the file in a variable Most of this UI is already there. points 1 and 3 are done. Yeah, I know cmake is the main focus, but also think of other, easier project managers. I.e. for generic manager this would be of great use. And even in cmake projects there might be files which do not get added to cmake, no? Like documentation or something like that... Moving/Copying files in the project view seems to me more important than copying external files into the project. And: it should be done VCS aware. (esp. moving files is a pain with svn) It is notable though, that simply drag and drop a file to open it in the editor does not work. When dragging a file over, even the plus graphic on the cursor will appear, but the file does not open for edition. It is working now, AFAIK. |
