Description Petros 2017-02-28 15:40:49 UTC
It would be super cool to open .ui files with an integrated qtdesigner view. The same that did happen for kate's integration or okteta, could happen for qtdesigner too.

So we could create and edit .ui files directly from KDevelop. The tools are already there, no need to reinvent the wheel.

You're aware there's a standalone Qt designer available you can use?

I honestly don't see the advantage of just integrating its view contents into KDevelop if we do not work further on integrating the designer workflow with KDevelop.

Yes, yes I am. The way I see it, it's nice to not leave KDevelop and work with git. So it would nice to not leave KDevelop to edit, or design .ui files. Ok that is not as generic as git, it's qt specific but my personal opinion is that is would make KDevelop an ever more complete IDE.

Of course the decision is yours (the devs) and I can't code in order to provide the solution.

I just created an external script to automatically run the file i want in designer by clicking on it in kdevelop.
Comment 4 Kevin Funk 2017-03-01 22:16:49 UTC
Huh? You can simply open a .ui file in designer by right-clicking the file in the project tree view -> Open With -> Qt Designer
