Hello

I tested Qt-Creator and my first impression is very positive, great work 
guys !

Here are some improvements ideas:

- The File System view
    - There should be an option to show/hide hidden files and folders 
(on linux files starting with a dot are displayed)
    - This view should be a treeview: If you project is organized with 
many subfolders, it is painful to navidate through the filesystem with 
the current view. A treeview displaying files + folders whould be nice 
and double clicking on a folder whould make it the root folder (see 
Gnome's Nautilus in listview mode)

- The C++ editor
    - doxygen keywords highlighting would be nice (see KDE's Kate editor)
    - Words completiton would be nice too (see KDE's Kate editor 
plugin): You type the 3 first letters of a word already present in the 
current file and a completion popup appears. This is cool when writing 
doxygen doc: You type a class or method name and you get the completition.

- Compile view:
    - A filtered make output view would be nice: the same than 
KDevelop3's "Short Compiler Output" view: you see what happens and you 
don't get a too verbose output, Only errors and warnings are displayed 
totally.

Regards,

Eric
