KDevelop misses the option to open a file on a specific line. This is essential for one-click setups like http://pla.nette.org/en/how-open-files-in-ide-from-debugger#toc-linux Almost every editor offers that option, e.g. --line NNN in Kate or +NNN in Vim. KDevelop uses :NNN which seems to be broken. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On the command line, try to open a file in KDevelop and immediately jump to a specific line. Actual Results: $ kdevelop myfile:10 opens myfile on line number 11 (!). Looks like a classical off-by-one-mistake ;) ... but only if KDevelop is not already running. When KDevelop is already running, each time you do that, it opens the file again in a new tab and places the cursor in line number 1. Expected Results: KDevelop should offer a command line option like the ones described above that makes it open a file and places the cursor on the given line. If the file is already open in a tab, KDevelop should NOT open it again, but simply bring its tab to the front and then place the cursor on the given line.
The two complaints are fixed, the wish to have an extra option is imo not that valid; you can do your setup just fine with the : syntax. If you have a good reason to have the extra CLI option, feel free to reopen this.
