The ctags-plugin is one my favorite kdevelop features, so I test it quite 
often ;) 
Well, the problem is, that it works for some definitions/declarations and for 
others not. Until yesterday I only used the external workarounds, so either 
running 'ctags -R -n' manually or using a wrapper script. Being somewhat 
frustrated using those ugly workarounds and having some time yesterday, I 
looked it up in the code directly.

Hmm, actually I don't know how '-R' works, do you mean that it also parses 
binary-data?

Well, I could try to debug this a bit, hopefully I will have some time for it 
over Christmas - its already the 5th programming project in the queue 
(another project is there since September and has a much higher priority ;-) 
)
