There are still problems with kdevelop 3.0.1:

The option "add file to project" is missing from the file context menu in the file tree (at least for the qmake manager, did not check others)

The manual does not say that one has to use some "manager" to add an existing file to the project. Deeply in the "automake manager" chapter, there is a screenshot from where you can guess a way to add existing files, but this is not where one expects it. I would rather expect it in chapter 8 (I guess this should be names "project mangement", given the fact that chapter 14 is also called "advanced project management")

Please consider readding the menu entry Project->add existing file(s). From a kdevelop users POV this seems natural. From a kdevelop developers POV the "manager" things may be convenient, but as a user I only want to think about build sytems when I create a project. Afterwards, I just want to use them, and they should not hide important functionality in a difficult to find place.

Last, but not least: Yes, I do read documentation, and yes, I do mean this seriously, and yes, I have spent a long time figuring out how to add files via the GUI. In the end, I added the files to the qmake .pro file by hand.

PS: How can I reopen this bug?
