Well, I forwarded the message I sent today to morpeuz about some ideas on
plasmate.
Take a look, then tell me what you think about =)

Hi Diego!

Maybe it's a good idea to send an email do plasma-devel so others can also
give
their opinions on this one. I didn't take a look on Vng so I can't argue
here
very much. I'm just afraid that in the end we have to reimplement a lot of
things that are already in Vng....

Hmmm...another idea would be to have an "Add File To Project" like Kile and
other editors have. This way the "new files situation" is solved. Regarding
files
that are already being tracked, we should just add them all and then commit
when the auto save interval times out. If the user wants to put a message in
his commit, we can have a "Save With Description" option or something like
that...

But again, let's see what ideas people on plasma-devel have ;)

The preview tab may work and I agree that maybe keeping the previewer open
all
the time may waste screen space...

Cheers! :)
