           Summary: Viewers in debugger could use a better UI
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: CVS
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: jonsmirl at yahoo.com


Version:           CVS (using KDE Devel)

The debugger viewer dialog probably isn't needed. It would be much more convenient if the memory and register viewers were made into tree tool views. The libraries would be an output tool view. Disassembly is already an output tool view.

The advantage to this is that you could single step the debugger and watch the output views. It would also simplify the UI somewhat. The tabs for these viewers would only appear when the debugger is active.

Another excellent addition would be to mix the source lines into the disassembly display.

Right now the inability to keep the registers displayed while single stepping makes kdevelop unusable for assembly work.
