Description Juraj 2019-03-07 09:35:10 UTC

SUMMARY
Show opened project / files in session selection dialog at startup

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run kdevelop with --ps argument e.g. kdevelop --ps
2. Window to select session shows
3. Select some session

OBSERVED RESULT
Session is selected and when clicked on Run even runs fine.

EXPECTED RESULT
When session in menu is selected show list of the opened projects / files in sidepanel of session selection/pick dialog. This will allow user to easily see what each session contain before kdevelop is run which can save a lot of time in messy environment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Nothing urgent, I would just love to have this feature.

Projects opened in the session are already displayed in the Pick a Session dialog - separated by a semicolon from each session name. Showing open files as well seems to be much less useful to me. Unless the user works on files that do not belong to any project.

This seems to be my oversight all these years ago.

I think it would be nice to have, but can also get messy very quickly.

This bug report can be considered finished.

Thank you for your help.
