Keeping track of project

[zay2]

Hello

I could use some advice. I could use advice on which program to use to keep track of all the files and different projects.

For now i just use kate... which is basically a text editor with all sorts of code highlighting, but it does not keep track of opened files and when i start working on a project again i have to manually open many files.. which is boring.

Is there a program where you can just open some of your program... keep track of your files, has highlighting and backups.

you could try an IDE like codeblocks, or kdevelop
also, kate has a sessions feature, when you have a bunch of files in a project open go to the sessions menu and click on save, then you can open that session next time, and all your files will be opened automatically

Thanks for the kate tip. This might help me abit, but since my current project is django project there are several files with same names, which will get confusing.

Ill test the programs you mentioned... perhaps there are more such programs?

what do other people use?

i use codeblocks and dev-c++(for windows) myself

whichever IDE you choose, i prefer plain vim for everything and netbeans for java, get Version Control if you are not already using one

Thanks everybody. installing eclipse and codeblocks atm.

Thanks again.

I use WingIDE (http://www.wingware.com/) for Python projects.

Geany(for Linux) is a nice lightweight IDE you should check out. Not sure if it has the features you are looking for though... but then again I never bothered to look...
