- * \mainpage A network-enabled file management system in a library
- *
- * This library implements almost all the file management functions you
- * will ever need. In fact, the %Trinity file manager, Konqueror also uses
- * this to provide its network-enabled file management.
- *
- * The easiest way to use this library from a %Trinity application is via the
- * KIO::NetAccess class (for easy synchronous access) or via the
- * KIO::Job class (for more complex asynchronous jobs).
- *
- * This library also implements the System Configuration Cache (KSycoca).
- *
- * KMimeType:
- * The notion of a file type, already existing in Trinity-1.x
- *
- * KService:
- * To a mimetype are bound one or more applications, now called services.
- * Services can be applications, but also libraries, dynamically opened.
- *
- * KServiceType:
- * A service type allows the same mechanism to be extended to components.
- * For instance : the question "what are the koffice plugins" is solved by
- * a service type called KOfficePlugin, and by every plugin providing
- * a .desktop file stating that it is a service that implements the servicetype
- * KOfficePlugin.
- *
- * KServiceTypeProfile:
- * Stores the user's preferences for services bound to mimetypes/servicetypes.
- *
- * KTrader:
- * Use it to query for which services implement a given mimetype/servicetype.
- * Has its own language, in order to allow complex queries.
- *
- *
- * \section Trinity Filedialog widget and associated classes.
- *
- * This library also provides the Trinity file selector widget,
- * its building blocks and some other widgets, making use of the file dialog.
- *
- * The file dialog provides different views; there is a vertically scrolling
- * view based on KListView, showing things like filename, file size,
- * permissions etc. in separate columns. And there is a horizontally scrolling
- * view based on KIconView. Additionally, there are some compound views,
- * like a view using the icon-view for files on the right side and another
- * view for directories on the left. A view, that shows a preview for the
- * currently selected file (using KIO::PreviewJob to generate previews)
- * and any other view to show the files is also available.
- *
- * All those views share a common baseclass, named KFileView, which
- * defines the interface for inserting files into a view, removing them,
- * selecting etc.
- *
- * The one class encapsulating all those views and adding browsing capabilities
- * to them is KDirOperator. It allows the user to switch between different
- * views.
- *
- * KFileTreeView is a KListView based widget that displays files and/or
- * directories as a tree. It does not implement the KFileView interface,
- * however, so it can't be used with KDirOperator.
- *
- * Besides the filebrowsing widgets, there is the KPropertiesDialog class,
- * implementing a dialog showing the name, permissions, icons, meta
- * information and all kinds of properties of a file, as well as providing a
- * means to modify them.
- *
- * The KPropertiesDialog is extensible with plugin-pages via the
- * KPropsDlgPlugin class.
- *
- * The KIconDialog class shows a list of icons installed on the system (as
- * accessible via KIconLoader) and allows the user to select one.
- *
- * KOpenWithDlg implements a dialog to choose an application from, that is
- * to be run, e.g. to let the user choose an application to open a file/url
- * with.
- *
- *
- * KFileDialog:
- * The class providing the file selector dialog. It combines a KDirOperator,
- * KURLBar and several other widgets.
- *
- * KDirOperator:
- * The class encapsulating different KFileViews, offering file browsing and
- * file selection. Asynchronous, network transparent reading of directories
- * is performed via the KIO library.
- *
- * KURLRequester:
- * A widget to be used for asking for a filename/path/URL. It consists of a
- * KLineEdit (or KComboBox) and a button. Activating the button
- * will open a KFileDialog. Typing in the lineedit is aided with
- * filename completion.
- *
- * KURLRequesterDlg:
- * A dialog to ask for a filename/path/URL, using KURLRequester.
- *
- * KFileView:
- * The base class for all views to be used with KDirOperator.
- *
- * KFileIconView:
- * The KFileView based on KIconView.
- *
- * KFileDetailView:
- * The KFileView based on KListView.
- *
- * KFilePreview:
- * The KFileView, combining a widget showing preview for a selected file
- * and another KFileView for browsing.
- *
- * KURLBar:
- * A widget offering a number of clickable entries which represent a URL,
- * aligned horizontally or vertically. The entries are customizable by the
- * user both on a per application basis or for all applications (URLs, their
- * icon and the description can be added, removed or edited by the user).
- * This is the widget used as "sidebar" in the KFileDialog.
- *
- * KFileMetaInfoWidget:
- * A widget that allows viewing and editing of meta data of a file, utilizing
- * KFileMetaInfo.
