Whoops, ignore this one Danny, I didn't see that Oswald asked you pretty much the exact same question between your post and my response! I don't want to make it sound like I'm piling on!

I find that on average I have to rename a .h/.cpp file once in its lifetime. Usually it is when I was just whipping up a class, so I gave it a quick name, but then after a few days of working on it and realizing that it was actually going to work, I'll rename it to something more accurate. So for me, adding this feature would be way low on the list.

Personally I can live without file system integration as anything complicated SVN-wise I can do with the awesome TortoiseSVN plugin. Alt-Tabing to an Explroer window when I need to rename files is not the end of the world. It's not just 'alt-tabbing to an explorer window', it's: 1) Removing the file from project (either manually from the .pro file or via the menu which requires dismissing the SVN prompt). 2) Closing any open documents for that file as Creator will not do with for you (and this is an easy way to get into a mess). 3) Renaming the file in explorer / your SVN client. 4) Re-importing the file (as above). 5) Re-running qmake. Five laborious steps! But I'll take a hint and drop the subject! Qt Creator is a superb product and I am forever evangelising about it to co-workers and fellow programmers. My only gripe is with the 'session' system which is well documented here. :) Agreed. I think the Trolls have done an amazing job with this product, and considering it's only a 1.x release, the features are impressive - I much prefer editing C++ code using this IDE than I do MSVC (even with the Visual Assist plugin.) So, well done to all involved and long may the good work continue. 2009/11/19 Andre Poenitz <andre.poen...@mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de>: > On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 03:34:25PM +0000, Danny Price wrote: >> I'm fairly certain both VisualStudio 1.0 and Eclipse 1.0 had the ability to >> rename source files. > > Danny, > > if the developers of VS and Eclipse had enough resources to spent to > integrate cross-platform, cross-VCS file manager capabilities, so, well, > I admit it, I envy them. > > I don't have these resources, and the ones I have I rather spent not on > duplicating functionality that is already available in abundance on > everybody's desktop - at least not as long as there is a long wish list > of more important things. > > Everybody who wants to have a file manager can have that rather easily, > VCS integration inclusive.
