--- Comment #3 from kittens@wobble.ninja --- Thanks for your quick response! > Do you think an extra action will make this better usable? I thought that'd be pretty obvious. Writing a manual file to create a project might seem simple, yet it is exponentially more difficult than "File > Open Folder" in Atom or VS Code. (If alone because it isn't obvious that this is needed without looking into the manual in the first place.) It's also super unexpected for a comprehensive UI as kate's, that otherwise has almost every thing you may need or not need in the lengthy menus. So yes, I think usability would get a huge boost from this. Also, opening a file to load up a project is useful, however no other of these newer editors out there doesn't have a way to open the folder instead. So even if the project already exists on disk, you're going against existing conventions with providing no "Open Folder..." optoin which is bad for more experienced users as well. > Are you interested in contributing that? I'm going around to see which IDE I will stick with. When I decide to move on, I usually extend the courtesy to at least make a ticket why I skipped on it for now so there's a chance to make up for the roadblocks. Of course whether you decide to look into it at all is still up to you, I just want to enable the possibility of it. (Before you say it's ludicrous to move on due to details such as this, I am looking for an IDE I can recommend to programming beginners starting out. So the initial workflow to get started needs to be simple and obvious. In part due to this issue here, I'd say right now in kate it isn't) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
