[Qt-creator] Feature Request: automatic scrolling in project explorer

[Liebe Markus (RtP2/TEF72)]

Hi there,

KDEs file manager "dolphin" has in version 1.4 (KDE 4.3.95) a nice feature which I'd really like to have in QtCreators project explorer.
The sidebar to navigate through folders always scrolls the current visible content sideways that you can read the full text of the folders.
So if you browse into a very deep folderstructure and the width of the sidebar is not very big, dolphin scrolls to the right, to make sure you can see the folder and not only the vertical lines indicating the folder structure.

Here ist how to navigate to a certain project file in the QtCreator:
1. expand several folders
2. scroll to the right, to be able to see everything
3. repeat 1 and 2 until you reach the desired folder

And here is what I do in dolphin:
1.expand several folders until I reach the desired folders ( dolphin does the sideways scrolling for me)

Of course it is the same for collapsing the folder structure to a certain level.
Dolphin scrolls sideways too, if I scroll up or down the folder list. If you run KDE just have a try, it's awesome!

To have this functionality of dolphin in the project explorer would be very handy!
What do you think?

Regards,
Markus
