            Bug ID: 396959
           Summary: Adding support for also having the (known to be used)
                    identifier in the database
           Product: kdebugsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: mon...@kde.org
          Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Looking at some code with some qCDebug/qCWarning statement, like
    qCDebug(SUBLIME) << "Hello";
one in the very command only sees the code-internal identifier and first has to
look up the actual category name. Which can be a little time consuming as the
declaration can be in any file, so one first has to search for that.

It would be a nice speed-up of workflows if one could also see (and filter) the
list in kdebugsettings using that identifier.


So the .categories file format should be extended to also allow declaring the
identifier (or identifiers, in theory people could use different in different
parts of the code for the same category name) which typically is (are) used
with a given category name.
The filtering would then include matching the registered identifiers, as well
as shown them in the tooltip perhaps, next to the actual category name.
