Bug Description

All the commands in "ubuntu-template" have generic names that are not dependant on the underlying implementation, except for the "glade" command. So if someone creates a "kubuntu-template", they would have to rename that command to something else. If the command were renamed to something generic like "edit-ui" (as a companion command to "edit"), you could do:

$ quickly -t ubuntu-template edit-ui => start Glade

$ quickly -t kubuntu-template edit-ui => start QT 4 Designer

In addition to making the name generic, it would mean that users would not even have to know what UI editor they are using, as long as it does what they need, which would make it even easier for newbies to get started. You could even abstract the UI editor to an environment variable to mirror the EDITOR variable so that it can be customised even more easily.

I think is is a valid bug and should be fixed

Perhaps "design" might be a good name for the command.

I dont see what the problem with it is at the moment because the ubuntu-application template is aimed at Gnome development but design is a good name if it needs to be neutral.

That's totally valid, right.

This is fixed in trunk :)

Hi, I was trying out Quickly today, created my program, and saw that it said to run 'quickly glade' to let me edit the default windows and dialogs. When I ran that command it came back with "ERROR: No glade command found in template ubuntu-application."

After some searching I found this bug and see that 'quickly design' should be used instead (which works). The label text containing instructions to the user in the default window need to be updated I think.
