Description Robert Shideleff 2003-11-18 00:07:59 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0b1 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-ac4

(This already seems to exist in the automake build environment, but doesn't for us poor saps who maintain our own makefiles, or as in my case autogenerate them from the files existance in a directory.)

It would be awfully nice if the file selector, and or the file tree windows supported creating files in the selected directory. I'm thinking of something like a right click down menu that gives you access to all of the options in the 'New File' IDEA1 window, but with the paths all set up for the current directory you are clicking on.

In KDevelop 3.4RC1 this is implemented for the file selector plugin.
