KDevelop uses ctags by default to create tag files. Under Linux at least, the default name for a ctags tag-file is 'tags' ('TAGS' for etags). Clean removes 'TAGS' but not 'tags'.

Should it really remove the tags file? It seems inconvenient to me to lose my metadata just because I want a clean build. I'm not sure I agree this is a bug.

Well then it is a wish
Comment 3 Andreas Pakulat 2008-06-29 19:26:29 UTC
I think whats really wanted is automatic re-run of ctags when files are added or removed, rather than removing the ctags file. So I'm changing the wish summary.
