Description Alexandros Karypidis 2002-11-05 15:17:50 UTC

Version:           3.0 (using KDE KDE 3.0.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          N/A N/A
OS:          LinuxLinux

It would be nice to have an option which automatically hides the compilation-messages window after "make" completes, especially when the compilation is successful.

Usually, I hit F8 to run make, then test my program and (when I get back to kdevelop) I hide the messages window at the bottom of the screen so that the editor obtains the largest portion of the window.

I believe one is only interested in haveing the messages view left open, when some error causes the compilation to fail.

I agree to this and I think it could be even cleverer. 
 
Let me put it in a way that everybody understands: 
 
if (Before compile command: bottom view where visible) { 
   if (messages active) 
      compile 
   else { 
      store current active view (problems or debugger or valgrid .....) 
      activate messages view 
      compile 
      If (no compilation errors) 
        restore the previous active view 
    } 
} 
else { 
   make bottom view where visible 
   activate messages view 
   compile 
   If (no compilation errors) 
      hide bottom view 
} 
 
How do you like it????

Subject: Re:  "Auto hide" messages option

It seems like the "ideal" behavior. Well, for me at least... :-P
