Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before; my searches didn't find anything.

I want to use KDevelop as a text editor for programming (like Geany) for example. I am not using its projects feature. The code I'm working on is cross-compiled on a remote server, and therefore I'm not using KDevelop's build support features either.

I would like to open files from command line using paths relative to my current directory. For example if I have a terminal open and I am in "~/src/main", if I issue the command "kdevelop arch/arm/test.c &", KDevelop tries to open a file located at "~/arch/arm/test.c" instead of "~/src/main/arch/arm/test.c". Is there a way to tell KDevelop to open the provided file relative to the current path? Geany does it without any problem, and if I remember correctly I didn't have this issue with KDevelp 4.x.x either. Thanks.

Running Kubuntu 17.10 and KDevelo 5.2.1.

If you want to use an application only as a text editor for programming, why not Kate, which is used by Kdevelop?

Are you using the AppImage?

Yes, the AppImage. This way I can always use the latest version.

Yeah, opening files with relative paths from the AppImage is broken, we'll fix it for the next version.

Thanks!

Also, (this might need a separate topic) the static word-wrap indicator line doesn't appear on the light-coloured schemas. I can see it on dark-coloured schemas as a thins light-gray line, but on light-coloured schemas it is not visible. Is it possible to add an option to adjust the indicator line's colour?

That option exists, in the editor settings under Colors, Icon Border -> Word Wrap Marker.
