[anjuta-devel] Improvements in project manager

[Sébastien Granjoux <seb sfo free fr>]

Hi,


I'm trying to improve the project manager interface. I have a few ideas 
but I interested to get more ideas.


* Do you think it is useful to remove the difference between a group and 
a target?
The implementation is very similar for both and it could be more 
flexible. By example we could define several kinds of groups and use 
them to represent autotools data targets.
On the other hand, currently groups include only groups and targets 
while targets include only files. So there is a real difference and it 
could be easier for the user to keep this difference. Moreover it 
corresponds to a real difference in autotools project at least.


* When removing targets, groups or files only the project files are 
changed. Do you think it's useful to remove the files or the directories 
themselves?
Perhaps, we could add this option in the confirm dialog box.


* I plan to write a special combo box for selecting targets. This combo 
box could be used in the new class and new file dialog so you won't have 
to display the project "add source" dialog. Moreover in this case, the 
"add source" dialog could be replaced by a file chooser dialog as it 
will be used only for existing files. Do you have other ideas?

Sébastien
