Version: 3.9.99 (using KDE 4.4.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I use kdevelop to manage a automake/autoconf c++ application. Since there is no other ("stable") possibility I use the "custom Makefile" option. So, nearly everything worked fine, until I updated from beta 8 (3.9.98) to beta 9 (3.9.99). Now, I am not able to format/reformat my source codes. The reformat button in the menu and popup-menu are deaktivated (grey) and the format files option in the project overview does nothing. Hint: (re-)format works fine with a new cmake project from template, but not with existing (and under beta 5-8 working) or recently imported custom Makefile projects.
I analyzed the behavior a little bit more: I started a new session and created a new project (from template cmake qt application). Formatting in this project works as well as formatting my automake (custom Makefile) files if I open them seperately in the new cmake project. Then, I opened my automake project in the same session. Et voila: Formatting works even if I close the cmake project. Thus, I have a workaround that allows me formatting my files again even if I close the session and start it again. But the problem still exists. If I start a new session without creating (or opening an existing) cmake project - just opening my custom Makefile project, then formatting does not work! However, I think the knowledge about the workaround above should help to identify the problem (it seems to be a "session problem").
works for me, reopen if you can reproduce with current version of kdevelop.
