Kate Project Plugin

Thursday, 20 July 2006 | Dominik Haumann


It is not a secret that removing Kate’s project manager in KDE 3.5 was not the right thing to do. It seems a lot of people used it and we got many complaints about this decision. That also shows that it is hard go get feedback about what users are really using. If a feature is done well, noone will ever talk about it. This is paradox, as we thought the project manager was not well integrated :) (I still think that)

Ok, let’s come to the interesting part: Three developers wrote a new Kate Project Manager Plugin and published an initial release on sourceforge.net and on kde-apps.org. It works quite well already and reading the comments on kde-apps.org gives me the impression that there are more features to come with the next release. — If you are interested maybe you want to join the project…

PS: I have the secret hope the plugin will be ported to KDE4 using Qt’s model/view architecture, so that it has good support for multiple mainwindows :)
