Description Mathieu Jobin 2004-11-12 23:51:49 UTC
Version:           3.2.3 release (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9

I'd like to be able to simply right click on a folder in the tree view, and says "Add new file" which would be added to this specific location.

then, filename would be asked and file created.

maybe the file could be first named to something default 'UntitledX' and the file entry is renamable/editable. but right now Quanta use a dialog when you rename a file, so I suppose the same with follow.

I don't get it. If you want to add a new file somewhere, you create a 
new (empty) document and save in the location you want to add. Quanta 
even tries to offer as default the directory that is selected in the 
file or project tree. And in 3.3 the rename is "inline" in the tree 
like in Konqueror.

yes, i can create a file and save it where ever I want.
and yes, I discover the magic with the select folders, thanks god, browsing the tree was taking me years... its a nice feature you select the selected folder on Save,.. but I discover that totally by chance, and its not really intuitive.

plus, creating a file in this sequence request me and my co-workers to think backward. most of the time, I know where I want to put the file, and its name before the actual content.


its why I rather right click on a folder and add the file, then I can edit it.

OK, it makes sense.
