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. - * - */ |
