Code Snippet Part - Enhancement Idea

Hi Jason,

your idea sounds great. Actually I was thinking about a similar feature for a 
while but hadn't any time to implement it yet. 

IMO the best would be to have the developer's snippets stored in his home 
directory. Besides this he should be able to specify other directories where 
snippets a stored. A company could set up several global snippet pools (for 
example one for each product they are developing) and the developers could 
mount (samba, NFS, ...) these pools to their workstations and use them in 
KDevelop. The paths to all needed snippet pools would be stored in the 
KDevelop project file. The snippets from these paths would then be imported 
when a project gets opened and maybe there should be a "Re-Sync" button or 
so.

These thoughts are also part of a wish. See 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106165 for details.
So I think this is definatly a feature to be implemented.


Do you plan to implement this feature for KDevelop-3.x? If so, when will be 
the next feature release of the kdevelop/3.4 branch?

I'm asking this because I've planned to rewrite a big part of my original 
snippet-part sourcecode for KDevelop-4.x (SVN HEAD). And one point I had on 
my list was to change the way snippets get stored. But I would be happy if 
you could handle this issue.


Greets, Robert
