ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The plugins project has a very special behaviour when compared to other project
managers present in other IDE's or advanced editors.
Most of times, in order to create a project you don't actually need to do
anything, provided the files are in a repository (Git, etc.) directory. If the
directory is not a repo, then you have to... manually create a .kateproject
file.
You cannot, however, configure many aspects from the project (no matter its
origin, manual or from repo):
- The files inside that project that are relevant (for example, *.cpp).
- How to build the project.
- etc.
The whole list of possibilities can only be inferred from the plugins
documentation page:
https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/kate/kate-application-plugin-projects.html
A "new project" dialog could first check if the directory is a git repository
and then load the inferred options, so it is possible to fine-tune its
behaviour.
If the project is manual, that dialog would be of great help instead of
creating a project file manually.
