Not directly, but there's a maximum number of slots KDE gets as a whole<br>

It seems that KDevelop gets very much attention this year! Several years ago, I planned to apply for the GSoC but I was finally unable to do so. As KDevelop already interested me, I had an idea about it: integrate Qt Designer and/or a QML editor into KDevelop (if there is already a plugin architecture allowing that, I have to check the Okteta plugin).<br>
<br>
The motivation past then was to ease the development of GUIs. Qt Designer is a very nice program, but it requires the user to constantly switch windows between the KDevelop and the GUI builder. In fact, Qt Creator was announced around that time, and it has Qt Designer integrated into it.<br>
<br>
The motivation is a bit different nowadays: Qt5 and KDE5 are heading towards QML and Javascript, and it would be wonderful that KDevelop supports these technologies. [1] says that there exists somewhere a KDevelop plugin for Javascript and QML support, but this is support for code completion in the code view (by the way, such a language support plugin is also in my field of interest). I have read some time ago that Qt Creator is able to display a preview of QML files, but I was never able find how to enable this feature (I use Qt Creator 3).<br>
<br>
What do you think of porting the Qt Creator QML viewer or the one that is used in Plasmate to KDevelop, so that developers of KWin decorations, Plasmoids, KDE games and even applications based on Qt Quick Controls can see what they are doing? Do you think it could be possible not only to display a preview of a QML file, but also to edit it graphically (QML elements are not that complex, as the language is mainly declarative, and it should be possible to display them with some sort of property view and inline code editor for bindings). One problem I see, though, is that supporting Qt Quick would have to wait for KDevelop to be based on Qt5 (QML can be supported with Qt 4).<br>
<br>
If you think that a classical widget-based form builder would be more useful, then two existing implementations can be used : Qt Designer and the one of Kexi (which uses its own form builder I think).<br>
