Description:
KFormDesigner is meant to be Qt Designer replacement for KDE. It provides almost all Qt Designer features (except code entering) and uses Qt Designer UI file format. It also has new features, such as editing widget contents inside forms, without dialogs, or dynamic resizing of widgets to fit its contents when you edit it.
Being a KPart, it can be used eg inside Konqueror (or with any app that supports KParts) to view UI files.
One can extend it by writing plugins (called factories) to manage more widgets, and control a lot of things about this widget (editing, menu items, shown properties, etc.).
It is developed inside Kexi Project (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12365).
So if you have installed Kexi, you already have KFormDesigner. The version inside Kexi is always the more up-to-date.
**** About installation ******
If kformdesigner don't appear in your path after installation, try running './configure --prefix=your_kde_prefix'. To know your kde prefix, run kde_config --prefix.
**** About KDevelop Plugin ****
It is not compiled by default. If you want to compile it, 'cd kdevdesigner_plugin' and then 'make', etc.
To make it appear in KDevelop, you have to modify your kde file associations after installing. In the 'Embedded' tab, make 'Form Designer KDevelop Plugin' first in the list. It should then appear in KDevelop instead of Qt Designer.
Please let me know if you have made a binary package of KFormDesigner, I'll add a link in this page.
