There is a _lot_ more you can do. Notice there is a script tab on the left of Quanta. If you manage scripts in the defined file area you can then select them from dropdown lists for the Project Event Actions. This means you can perform an Action (script with optional Kommander dialog) with just about any file or project related event, even a CVS event. You will also note that you have extensive control over how the default Actions interact with the editor. For even more fun run kdcop and look at the information you can access and set within Quanta via the DCOP IPC. Note WindowManagerIf which we made for custom functions. Then take a look at Kommander. http://kommander.kdewebdev.org Using Kommander you can quickly visually build dialogs that speak DCOP and integrate them with Quanta. This is still only scratching the surface because all the tag dialogs you see in HTML are created with tagxml, Quanta's internal definition language which it also speaks. In short, you could radically transform and extend Quanta so that it would be barely recognizable and vastly more feature rich, all without a single line of C++. ;-) -- Eric Laffoon - Quanta+ Team Leader http://quanta.kdewebdev.org _______________________________________________ Quanta mailing list Quanta@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta
