Description Sebastian Stein 2004-07-27 15:14:32 UTC

Version:           1.3.0 (using KDE 3.2.3, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.26

past KDE 3.3 issue:

During creation of a function parameter, you have to choose the "Kind" setting.
At the moment the options are in, out, inout. Well, this is not very
descriptive, so we have to find something else. Also, i18n() calls are needed
around in, out, inout.

It's the other way round: The values (in/out/inout) conform to the UML
standard, but the designation "Kind" should be replaced by "Direction"
as per the UML standard. (Can't change this for 1.3 because of string
freeze.)

Yes, but then it only makes sense, if you know the UML standard. So it would
be better to have something like:

Direction

Input Parameter | Output Parameter | Input & Output Parameter

Yes, I know. That's why I have added those bug reports so that we don't
forgot it.
