Projectmanagement with split-view?

Hi,

there's still some code in the projectmanagerview that would
allow to
use a split-view, just like kdevelop3's autotools view. IMHO
thats not
really needed and just creates confusion. Also those ifdefs
make the
code uglier and thus I'd like to remove those few lines.

Any objections? Does somebody have plans for the project
management view
that need a split-view?

Andreas

Well, I actually like the split view.  I find that tree
widgets are easy to 
program but can make for poorly usable UIs, especially when
the tree tries to 
do too much (which I think the current project management
tree does, with its 
directories, targets, and files all in one great big tree).

A split view would let us do something similar to the file
browser, where each 
level was shown as a flat list, if we wanted.

However, I am trying to stay away from the project
management side of kdevelop 
(as my skills are probably best used elsewhere).  Thus, I
won't be 
implementing split view any time soon, and it would seem to
me to be fairly 
trivial to do so later if needs be.  So, do as you like.

Cheers,
Hamish.

Hmm, such a split-view might be more comfortable on the long
run, compared to 
management only through context-menus.

The split-view could hold some information or actions
specific to the item 
selected in the tree-view, for example a "build"
or "compile" button. That 
way the usual build/correct/build/correct cycle might become
more 
comfortable.

That's just ideas, I don't know whether there are better
approaches to those 
problems planned. 

greetings, David

Yes, I like the idea a lot!!!

Hmm, I think I need to do some more thinking and I've got
some more
ideas for project management view I'd like to discuss. Will
open a new
thread for all this.
