KDevelop upload plugin (like Quanta had it)

Quanta 3 back then had this "Upload Profiles" feature that allows you to develop locally and upload to a given remote url using ftp/fish. When I started contributing to KDevelop the first code I wrote was a plugin that basically does exactly that.
More than 4 and a half years ago... time flies...

But I never got around releasing it as it was inside quanta - you know the story.

Now that quanta is declared dead it makes sense to release this as standaline plugin - though not much changed in the last 4 years.

Disclaimer: if you want to do serious web development, do not use this. Do yourself a favor and deploy using a version control system. If you have a simple website without any cms - well it might make sense to manually upload changed files.

If you still insist on working like in the last century, you can get kdev-upload here:
kdev-upload-1.3.80.tar.bz2


And now time for some screenshots showing the plugin:

Configure upload profiles in the project configuration

Upload a single file use quick upload from the context menu (or configure a shortcut like Quanta3 had)

Upload a whole directory also use the context menu

Browse the contents of an upload profile use the tool view on the right

Quanta update

Back in the good old KDE 3 times there was a quite nice application for doing web development: Quanta+.

The plan was to base Quanta 4 on the same library KDevelop 4 uses - however development for Quanta itself stalled. See also my blog post from exactly 3 years ago - the situation didn't change much since then.

An update for contributors to Quanta/KDevelop plugins:
Last week in Vienna I moved out all plugins from Quanta into their own independent repository; we now have:

• kdev-php
• kdev-php-docs
• kdev-xdebug
• kdev-executebrowser
• kdev-sql
• kdev-upload
• kdev-css
• kdev-xml
• kdev-php-formatter
• kdev-crossfire

each as independent repository allowing to build or work on a single one.

So there is actually a lot happening for Quanta 4 - without even mentioning the kdev-python or kdev-ruby plugins - languages we never had support for in Quanta 3 times.

What's left in quanta? Well - basically an empty skeleton. Quanta is dead. Long live KDevelop.
