Using the Projects Plugin in Kate

Friday, 2 November 2012  | Dominik Haumann | Tags:  planet

Update (2014-10-18): Auto-Loading Projects in Kate 5

Introducing the Projects Plugin for KDE SC 4.10

The basic idea of the Projects plugin is to have a structured list of files belonging to the  project with the following properties:

  1. provide a structured view of the files
  2. make it easy and very fast to open and switch projects
  3. support search & replace for a project
  4. provide simple auto completion
  5. make it simple to quickly open files in the project
  6. support for building the project

We’re going to address all these points now.

Kate/KDevelop Sprint – Update

Thursday, 25 October 2012  | Christoph Cullmann | Tags:  planet

Its nice to be here in Vienna with all the other hackers ;)
Most have already arrived and are busy fixing issues in Kate & KDevelop, some more will arrive tomorrow.

Already got bit work done on existing bugs, one bug was really nasty: a nearly 8 year old typo by myself messing around with highlighting in combination with line continuation.

But a guy did a really perfect bug report: Bug 300009
He wrote even a example highlighting file + test to trigger the issue, with that help, the fix was trivial to do, after I got time to read the bug ;)

In some days our nice sprint will start, more information can be found on KDE Sprints.

I am very happy that Joseph Wenninger organizes this event and the KDE e.V. aided with additional sponsorship! Sprints are a real important thing for all KDE projects and it is nice to see that thanks to the help of the community our e.V. is able to sponsor a lot of such events.

One year more passed and the next Akademy will soon open its doors.

Was never before in Tallinn or Estonia, will be an interesting visit.

Hope to meet again a lot of old and new KDE people.

Didn’t code a lot at all since last years meeting, too busy to finalize my phd thesis.
Hope to get more time for Kate in the next months again ;) And at the meeting.

Last year we already discovered that Kate is truly the only holy text editor* (again thanks to rms for making us aware of it)! (and btw, xkcd is totally wrong). And now we even have yet another proof: The holy Kate maintainer and the naked woman! Enjoy :-)

Akademy 2010 – Best experience so far

My first Akademy was the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced. I remember I was quite unsure a month ago, wheter to come or not, but finally decided and booked my flight and hotel. In my first day, I was very shy and didn’t know what to do, but people came and talked to me and everything got better. The talks had very interesting topics and the speakers did their job professionally. I also want to congratulate the organization team, for making everything happen as scheduled.
