BUG in tools configuration - and a patch

[Marcus Gruendler]

Hi developers!

Unfortunately there is still a bug in the toolsconfiguration in 
KDevelop Beta4.1.

The problem is that some information in the kdeveloprc config file is
not generated correctly during the first execution of KDevelop. The value
of the entry "Tools_argument" is initialised wrong.

This leads to some strange behaviour when you add new tools that have
commandline arguments.

I think the problem is that the configuration is not written correctly
into the kdeveloprc configuration file. Here is a part of this file just
after initialization:

...
[ToolsMenuEntries]
Tools_argument=
Tools_entry=K&Debugger,K&IconEdit,K&Paint,
Tools_exe=kdbg,kiconedit,kpaint,
...

When you add a new entry these lines look like that:

...
[ToolsMenuEntries]
Tools_argument= %D,
Tools_entry=K&Debugger,K&IconEdit,K&Paint,&Cervisia,
Tools_exe=kdbg,kiconedit,kpaint,cervisia-starter,
...

The second line should look like this:

Tools_argument=, , , %D,
               ^-^-^---- these commata are important!!!

I've found the piece of code where the initialization went wrong and have
provided a patch. This patch also fixes a small bug: you don't have to insert
a blank before your commandline option anymore.


Bye, Marcus
