Hi Detlev, I would like to discuss some usability aspects of eric4:
Autocompletion: I would like to have autocompletion working for translated ui files, but it seems, that no combination of settings allows me to do so: * Autocompletion is enabled, case sensitive, replacing words with threshold 2 * Eric AC is enabled from API files, document, and project (but doesn't seem to work) * QScintilla AC is enabled bot showing singles, not using fillup chars with document and API files sources The latter seems to work fine, but isn't able to use any project members apart from the current document. I've disabled Rope AC, since it operates in a too intrusive way. Do I really need to manually create api files on any UI change and add an API file for every project? Other files handling: usually, one selects some changed files in the project viewer in order to check them in. Loading the associated app isn't the best thing to do, when selecting them, especially, if you click on them with some accelerator key pressed (to select many or regions of files). It's simply not funny, that eric triggers a dozen oowriter instances in that case. Better provide that as a context menu item. Same goes for UI files. Check in: I tend to prefer checking in larger changes on the command line (to svn), since that gives me the hint, what files are checked in beforehand. Ideally, I would want to check the diff of some files' changes before proceeding. I'm dreaming of a check in facility, that offers an interface similar to "svn ci" in the shell, but with the possibility to check the diffs of certain files, or a full diff. You offer all of these functions within the version control context menu, but the workflow is pretty uncomfortable. It's a real pity, that you dropped Qt3 support a long time ago. Since I still have a host of such projects running, I feel discriminated compared to, say, wxpython users (which I classify much more legacy then Qt3..).
