I am using kdevelop to write some python scripts, it's a bit anoying when I hit the Debug / Run and the launched version is the last saved one, is there any way to configure kdevelop to save every time I start the debug / run?

Sorry, that's only possible for building right now ... people designing this didn't think about scripting languages.

You can probably do this: create an empty makefile; use the custom makefile manager to import your project; use the "compiled binary" launch type and select /usr/bin/python as the executable and your script path as the arguments; select "Build" under dependencies; and check "Save documents before building" under settings -> projects.

The other option which is equally weird is to create a shellscript which runs your script, but invokes

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kdevelop.kdevelop-$(pidof kdevelop) /kdevelop/MainWindow/actions/file_save_all trigger

first.

But yes, it's quite terrible
You can file a wish on bugs.kde.org if you like.

Thanks, I've just filled the wish here, I will have a look into your workarounds
