Bug ID: 423306
Summary: [plugin-projects] Make plugin add "File > Open
Folder..." menu entry
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kittens@wobble.ninja
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I suggest that the project plugin should add a "File > Open Folder..." menu
entry. Activating it should bring up a folder picker, and once a folder is
chosen kate should 1. check for .kateproject in that folder, 2. if not present
create it and start a new project in this folder, otherwise load up the
corresponding project of this folder.
The reason I am suggesting this is that Atom, VS Code and other newer IDEs work
a lot around this 'opening a folder as a project' concept, moving the idea of
elevating project creation as a super dedicated task with entering tons of
settings more into the background. I think that .kateproject is a hidden file
already fits into this concept nicely, so I think leaning into this would be a
good fit!
