Noted.

Actually that reminds me: I'll have to talk with Niko about whether our PHP=
=20
parser supports anything-but-utf8. If not, I have to change that of course!

Have you tried working sets? That should be just what you want. They are al=
so=20
saved in the session, hence stay over application restarts. They are not=20
project specific, but that is not applicable anymore, since you can have=20
multiple projects open at the same time.

Yeah, have to talk to the Kate guys about that.

This indicates that something went really wrong, I bet it's taking the quan=
ta3=20
version of the UI file in ~/.kde/share/apps/quanta/ instead of the new one.=
=2E.=20
Have to test that myself. To try it out, move the existing one and start=20
Quanta again (make sure you don't delete it, to keep your Quanta 3 settings=
).

Report it to the style author. QtCurve, Oxygen and afaik also Bespin all wo=

with KDevelop/Quanta

Noted, will have to investigate.

Wow, thanks for the positive words, really encouraging. I'll make sure thos=

involved will read this mail. Thanks!
