           Summary: Project opening/ closing behaviour
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: CVS
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: kueck at cs.ubc.ca


Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

I find the behaviour of gideon when closing a project unintuitive and annoying:

Example:
- Start with empty workspace.
- Open Project
- Close Project
-> I would expect to have an empty workspace again but this is not the case.

Open Project seems to load all files that were open when the project was closed (right?)
Close Project seems to only close files that are within the project directory.
An annoying consequence is that switching projects leads to the external files being included in all projects!

Example: 
- Open Project A
- Open header file /usr/include/someheader.h
- Open Project B
- Open Project C
- Open Project A

Now when opening any of the 3 projects, the external header file will be opened. 


Suggested solutions: 
- Change closing behaviour: close all files when closing the project
- Change opening behaviour: only open previously openened files from within the 
                            project directory
