            Bug ID: 298804
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdevelop-bugs@kdevelop.org
           Summary: Context menu option 'Format files' is  dangerous
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: roman.konieczny@gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: file tree
           Product: kdevelop

In project view there is an option to format files pointed by cursor. However,
there is no confirmation dialog before action, so it is very easy to format all
files of project with one click. Moreover, there is no information about what
files has been formatted and no option for revert. 
So you can basically click on format files by accident and even don't notice
all files has been formatted.

My story is, that when I wanted to commit changes done in few files I have been
very surprised that all files in project has changed.
It is just my guess that I have accidentally clicked on format files while
wanted to chose 'Find files'.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Files formatted. No info about that. No option to undo.

Expected Results:  
Confirmation dialog before action.

Displayed status with info what files has been changed and possibility to do
undo in some/all files.

Until those dialogs are ready I would recommend to move that option from
project context menu to some more safe place like Edit menu.
