How do I get subversion files from remote repository?

Hi,

I have installed SUSE 13 and KDevelop Version 4.5.2 using KDE Development Platform 4.11.5. I want to start using KDevelop for C++ development. The first thing I tried was to checkout a project from subversion using 'Fetch project'. I entered a svn://<repos> url and impressively it showed a file dialog and allowed me to browse the remote repository. However when I selected the project and clicked OK it said:

Remote files not accepted
You can only select local files

I understand what that means, but it is a show stopper limitation for me. Is this correct? or have I tried to access the repository wrongly? I've searched the forums, FAQs and Google and could not find anything about access using svn://<repo> urls. If it is really not supported yet, how can I find out if it on the wishlist and get an idea of when it might be?

Regards,
Martin.

Hm, don't know what you did, but it wasn't what it is intended to be used ;)
1) enter a local directory in "Destination"
2) enter your SVN URL in "Source", ignore the file dialog unless it is local
3) click Get
4) click Next
5) select a file or folder to import the project from into KDevelop, i.e. just the folder or a CMakeLists.txt or similar file.

Greetings!


I'm working on the KDevelop IDE.
