           Summary: Quick open in the file menu is not consistent with other
                    kde apps
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: tnagy at eleve.emn.fr


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

The "Quick open" menu entry in "File" pops up a dialog in which the user is supposed to type the name of a file, or to choose a recently opened file in a listbox.

First of all, there is a duplicated feature : if a file is to be opened, one should use the "Open" menu entry which pops up a kfiledialog, or the file chooser tab and not type the name of the file in a simple lineedit.
In addition, when a wrong file is typed in the lineedit, the box is closed immediately without a warning.

Finally, the listbox for choosing a recently opened file is not consistent with the rest of the kde applications : a submenu "Open Recent" should display the recently accessed files (like the submenu "Recent projects" or like in kword, kspread, ..) instead of this dialog box.
