           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.

Credits for this idea goes to Jessika Penttinen.
