sure, our problems pane is extensible, just adding problems should do the trick. And with KDevelop 4.2 or 4.3 you also get entries there for TODO, FIXME, XXX etc. pp. > Another nifty idea would be being able to link bugs directly in the > code.

It just needs more love to get it into shape to make it end-user friendly. bye -- Milian Wolff m...@milianw.de http://milianw.de >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
