OK, I've changed this now. Do I read your comment correctly as saying that
there are two independent but functionally completely identical ways of
importing a project that's already on the hard drive?

Nice. Is this a good start:
http://userbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/Manual/Working_with_source_code#Exploring_source_code
? And is it true that you get the same information by holding down the ALT key
as by hovering the mouse over a symbol and by using the "Code browser" tool?

Comments?
While we're at it: The "Navigation" menu has entries "Next/Prev Outputmark". I
haven't managed to get them to do anything for me, which correlates with the
fact that I don't know what an output mark is. Do you have a brief
explanation?
Best
