QDevelop and CTags -> Not working

[fullmetalcoder]

I have had some updates though, for some reason is HAS started working for my own code (i.e. any classes that I write). I dont know why, when or how, but sometimes I come back to the code and it starts autocompleting. It still does not work with any QT classes though.

It's been a while since I last gave a try to QDevelop so I may be very wrong but maybe you need to explicitely generate the Qt completion database somehow (look in the menus and settings) before it can successfully complete Qt types/methods/...

ctags not work if project path contains whitespace, like "C:\Program Files\..."

Yeah, theres an option in the tools menu called "Rebuild Qt classes Database", but you click that, it finishes way too fast. Like its pointing to the wrong Qt include folder. I did have a quick look, but reading somebody else's code, even if its well commented, is hard work.

Just a comment on Edyuk: The open project doesnt seem to be working very well. It doesnt open the pro files created in Qdevelop (it doesnt do anything fancy) and when I create a new pro file in edyuk (How is it pronounced by the way??? ), I cannot reopen that file. Using 1.0.0-rc1.

The the on-demand style changing is a cute touch though

Cheers,

evgenM: Thanks for the tip, I shall have to remember that in the future.
But, it works fine for me even with spaces for my own classes, but still not (either way) for qt's functions.

1. How did you try to open a project? Using File|Open or Project|Open ? (it does make a great deal of a difference since both are enabled to satisfy every users
2. How does your sample project look like?
3. I don't understand the reopening issue
4. These issues may also have been fixed since last release (I'd better release that rc2 soon I guess)
5. Let's not hijack this thread and move the discussion to a more appropriate place (e.g. Edyuk thread in this forum, or Edyuk mailing list or whatever mean given in the readme file, ...)

The exuberant tag issue resolved my problem. Now we just need to beef up this code completion to make it disgustingly awesome!

[philwinder]

My problems have been resolved as of QDevelop r319.
Get it (Or any newer version that may appear) via that svn: http://qdevelop.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Code completion in VS2003 C++ is "beefed up" too much. It often displays many methods and properties in a dropdown that are NOT part of the class being used. It is only when you attempt to compile you get a "not a member of this class" msg.

I also code in Linux using Kate, which also has code completion, except that it uses as its reference the previous code you've written, so you never get a property or method that's not part of the class you are using, nor will display what you haven't used before. But, over all, I find it just as efficient as the VS code completion.

kate has no code completion, it has word completion. I does not recognize the syntax of the language you are writing it.
