Description Jaakko Holster 2004-02-22 15:18:27 UTC 
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.2.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.2

In properties window, attributes could be placed in table widget instead of simple list (one column for type, name, and initial value). If every cell of that table was editable, modifying attributes would be more comfortable (I'm not totally sure if QT/KDE support an editable table). What's the most important, a table can show more information than a list without extra clicks. List makes only sense if there's a lack of horizontal space.

Happy UML'ing! ;-)

Kexi and KDevelop use a shared Property table implementation.  Kexi's can be seen here (http://www.kexi-project.org/pics/0.1beta3/tables_beta3.png)

This bug is over 15 years old now. Can it be closed, or does it still need work?

Having a table widget instead of the list would enable quick renaming the name and/or the type.
