Description: Kate is such a perfect editor for me. But there's still one thing bother my mind: there's no file treeview browser in Kate. The current click-back-click-back file browser is usable but still, it's painful.
So, here goes your simple file treeview plugin .. simply activate in from kate preference.Last changelog:
0.1-20070704: - Happy Sync err Independence Day to all who celebrates - Sync feature is working. Push the button with the proxy icon thing. - Bookmark works (persistence at ~/.kde/share/config/katefiletreerc) BUGS: - can't sync on an already open KFileTreeViewItem, eg: sync on /home/foo/katefiletree after sync on /usr/include/kde/kate/ TODO: - prevent bookmarks duplication
01-20070627: BUGS: - opened doc should be active by default (FIXED)
01-20070626: - URLcombo for free-jump navigation - double click to open file - go to home and root via boomark button dropdown menu - TODO: bookmark function, filter, sync-display button
0.1 - initial ugly release - No double-click to automate loading file into the editor, so basically you have to use drag and drop here.
Thanks for your contribution. Looks great! I haven't been able to install it yet though. I'm stuck on:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
I don't see any option to specify the path to KDE devel files inside ./configure --help. I've tried ./configure --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib/kde3 but it didn't work.
Thanks
hello,
thank you for the plugin! that's a feature i always wanted to see in kate.
anyway, there seems to be something faulty here. i can't find the plugin in kate's preferences dialogs.
i am on debian and here is what i did to compile the plugin:
apt-get build-dep kate
tar xfj 60026-katefiletree-0.1-20070704.tar.bz2
cd katefiletree
./configure
make
make install
there were no errors. then i started kate. but i am unable to load the plugin, it isn't in the list of available plugins. do i miss something? my kate version is Kate 2.5.7 (KDE 3.5.7).
It should have been listed in the plugin section.

hello again,
thanks for your help.
i was wrong. the plugin was on the kate plugins list.
but: because my $LANG environment variable is set to "de_DE", the plugin was named "Mein erstes Kate-Plugin" (in english: "my first kate plugin").
to make this even more confusing, the next entry on the list was named "Mein erstes Kate-Modul" (in english: my first kate module). so i thought of any kind of sample-plugin or so...
kind of confusing, isn't it? 8)
anyway, thank you again :-)
If you
./configure
and get error
"Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
you may need to install
libdevel/libxt-dev package
I get the following error when i try make-
jon@holly:~/Desktop/linuxx86/katefiletree$ make

Any suggestions?
Automake version 1.10
I am sorry but I don't remember what I did. It seems like maybe a permissions problem? Or maybe a reinstall of automake. I really wish I could be more help.
I had to install automake1.9, not just automake:
apt-get install automake1.9
and then a clean ./configure and a make did the trick. It solved the issue above.
for me this problem was solved by downloading automake source version 1.9 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.tar.gz and compiling it.
after compilining automake 1.9, plugin was installed successfully
In case someone is interested, I opened a bug at bugs.gentoo.org
and attached a Gentoo ebuild for this nice plugin:

Actually it's fluxbox dekstop. I try my best to keep my memory consumption as low as possible since this is only a 256 MiB laptop :D
Why not KDE? well I still use many KDE app, eg: katapult, kate, dolphin/konq, kdevelop, amarok ..
Thank You for this nice piece of Code. It was a missing feature.
Send this Code to the developers, this shouldn't be a plugin, this should be a piece of kate.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Could you tell me, what wallpaper is on your desktop?
You can get it from dannychoo.com But be careful, it may be NSFW (Not Safe For Work aka don't open it from your office) sometimes

My bad, I should have deleted the other language translation since I didn't provide any translation for them :D Thank you for your information

I got it to work. Very cool. Thanks for your hard work and willingness to share.
phew :D I'm very glad it works for you :)
I'm having the same problem. What exactly did you do to make it work?
I am sorry but I don't remember what I did. It seems like maybe a permissions problem? Or maybe a reinstall of automake. I really wish I could be more help.
Reinstalling automake did the trick, thanks!

It's great idea and (I hope) you've made it perfectly. :) I'm going to try it soon :)
Hi! I like your desktop, could you tell me the name of the various components? (window decorations, kicker, etc) Thanks! :)
Actually it's fluxbox dekstop. I try my best to keep my memory consumption as low as possible since this is only a 256 MiB laptop :D Why not KDE? well I still use many KDE app, eg: katapult, kate, dolphin/konq, kdevelop, amarok ..
I understand... I will try fluxbox to see if it is a good alternative to KDE ;)

Could give a link to a simply patch ?
