           Summary: [RFE] Upon saving a text file with unknown characters a
                    more verbose error dialog should be shown
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: jaba mikrobitti fi


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

My girlfriend occasionally needs to import lots of text from Word documents and other obscure sources to KDevelop by copying and pasting it. 

Normally this works ok, but if source document contains any characters not belonging to current character set (say, a Word smart quote), saving the current file in KDevelop fails, throwing an error dialog about illegal characters.

It would be very handy, if KDevelop could show the error dialog in a more verbose manner, something like

    .----------------------------------.
    | Saving file xxxxxxx.txt failed!  |
    | Reason: Illegal characters found |
    |                                  |
    |     [Show errors]  [Cancel]      |
    |__________________________________|

After clicking "Show errors" a new dialog should be shown. This dialog would tell and highlight the exact lines and reveal the lurking illegal characters.

    .---------------------------------.
    | Illegal character in line 357,  |
    | line 44.                        |
    |     [Next] [Previous] [Cancel]  |
    |_________________________________|

Clicking "Next" and "Previous" should behave just like a normal Search dialog, so text cursor should jump to the exact place of current error.
