Hehe :))

Yes, I agree that's annoying. There's no but here except that noone took care 
of that as other things seemed to be more annoying :) I guess with HEAD's 
Gideon this is solved but we will try to prevent such things before they slip 
in there :)

Now, I don't quite have the time right now and I don't know about Falk. We're 
currently moving all our development to focus on HEAD's version for 3.0 which 
is already promising and we would like a deployment as early as possible in 
the development cycle, so feel free to give it a go with KDE 2.2. We will 
provide a test package soon so you can give us your feedback.

Regarding the collapsing bug - I would be *very* thankful if someone would 
have a look at it and send in a fix that we could include into 2.0.1. Any 
volunteers ? :)

Well, we're obviously not making enough use of templates in kdevelop it seems 
:)  Please feel free to have a look at that and if you'd come up with a fix, 
I would also be very thankful for that. Other than that, that needs to be 
tested in KDevelop 3.0 /gideon (HEAD) as well, the project stuff, parser and 
debugger are working already so that would be a chance to do an early fix 
here.

Hmm...works here. It just gets a bit out of sync when the file changed and it 
needs reparsing. A clever classtree database update method would help here.

Falk should comment on this, I think it should be possible to use a rmb menu 
for that.

Well, I liked that a lot as well. Sigh :)

Thanks for your contribution!  (hehe and I hope I can say "Thanks for the 
fixes!" in a week and have you as the outstanding member of the kdevelop list 
:))
