Bug ID: 412806
Summary: [KDevelop]: "sorted list of open documents" should
include more parent directories and projectname when
necessary
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.4.2
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: UI: IDEAl
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The "sorted list of open documents" drop-down menu includes the parent folder
name when multiple files with identical names are open. This doesn't help if
those files have the same parent directory name. One trivial case in which this
can happen is if you have 2 projects open that each hold a working copy of the
same software project, for instance a tinker version and a stock version, or
differing in build parameters.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a personal "scratchpad" copy of some software project in a KDevelop
session
2. Open another, "stock" copy of the same project
3. Open a given file, once from each project
4. Open the "sorted list of open documents" drop-down
OBSERVED RESULT
No idea which is which in the drop-down list
EXPECTED RESULT
Identifiable entries.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The current algorith that includes the parent directory for duplicates should
add as many parent dirs. as required until one that is different is found (or
the toplevel project dir. is reached). This path can probably be elided to save
some space. In case this still gives 2 identical strings (= when the toplevel
dir was reached) the project name should be included (also elided?). If
per-project colours are being used a tag of the project colour could be added
too.
