    Thank elcuco for this test.
    What do you think about it?
    But why do you say "the application seems to work more or less"?

    Is MingW a requirement ? Will MS VC++ compiler not do?

    I actually tried compiling with MS VC++ compiler, but I got a few error which says in couple of places strings are too long and it needs to be truncated.

    Yes, QIde is only intended for GCC (MinGW under Windows). Perhaps it is possible to compile it with MSVC but then, QIde can control only GCC.

    But install minGW, it is easy and free!

    wow. this thread got funky, even tough it's the newest on this forum, it's on the bottom, also the order of the posts is really funky.. weird...

    Anyway, the application seems to work, but it's hard to use. You need to spend a lot of time tuninng it up, until it becomes usable. For example, no way for this actions:
    1. closing one tab (ctrl+w)
    2. moving to the left/right tab (ctrl+[] or alt+left/right)
    3. executing the application (F6, F5 debug)
    4. switching header/implementation (shift+f12)


    I also found that the combo box which displays the functions is problematic: if one function is too long, it will resize the main window to such size it does not fit in my 1280x1024 screen. You could trunkute the text at ~80 chars. (i will not even claim that using regexps like you are is the correct way for this problem, but lets ignore this for this version).

    I would also like to see inline search instead of dialog boxes. Not that hard, you just need to do this inside the main editor class.

    You are not asking for confirmation when you close a project, this is weird and caused me problems, on several ocasions. I also would like to open the *.pro file as text files, something not possible on your code.

    On the project explorer, the main project name can be on the header, and not as the main node. This will save space, and reduce the "indentation" of the files, this way the project explorer will not take 25% of the screen. Adding an horizontal scroll bar can also help, but is not the best solution. It could be nice, if the node that represents the open file on the tab widget would be selected.

    Now, the French code is funky... it took me a little longer to understand what the code does, but that's my problem

    As I said, it's not usable (to me) yet, but it's a damm nice try. Compiles and works, does not crash and is very minimal. As a very early try, it's a damn nice one.
