Hi, its my first contact with QtCreator - and at first sight, I was really impressed. Very nice looking, very fast, very promising ... I very like the Todo-Plugin - very cool the supported different colors and the speed of synchronization! I also very like the one-click navigation.
After few days of working with it, I'd have to state, that from my point of view, QtCreator is not ready for real work yet, to be used as IDE. but Its already a good replacement for editors. The biggest point - no variable has an content in debugging session. Bug or misconfiguration? - I read about hacking QtCreator to get some var contents ... Huh? - r u kidding! - Such basics should work out of the box. At least if you'd like to be taken for serious. So I'll step back to use netbeans for work, but I'll keep watching the maturing of QtCreator. These are the issues (with decreasing importance), I missed most: - support for different window (number, size, position) for debug session and editing session and each session should save column size for lists too. - GUI-wizard for compiler/linker/tool settings - switch debug session to debug child-process after a fork system call - support templates for file, class and method creation (file-templates distinct for each extension), with placeholder for date, username, classname, ... - support refactoring (alt-enter) without changing the active editor (aka refactoring in background) - files created by "new C++-class" should automatically become part of the (active) project, or add a context menu entry for project tree-nodes - follow symbol under cursor should keep track of open editors and if more than one editor is open (splitted), the current active editor should not change. - add support for external beautifier/code-formatters like astyle, uncrustify, jindent or the like - mark all occurrences of symbol under cursor (variable, function, class, what ever) in the current file (or better in all visible files) so usages can be visualized very fast. Such marks shall be mouse sensitive for faster navigation. - allow to toggle symbols from left-size toolbar, so that the build-icons are on top and the menu-icons are on bottom kind regards Gero _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
