If all KFileView inherited classes - are QScrollViews, then it could even implement the "ask for mimetype - of the visible icons first" algorithm, currently in KonqIconView. -(3) KFileView, the base class for any view, knows about KFileItem, has - signals for dropped(), popupMenu(list of actions provided by the view), - has a QWidget * canvas() method, xOffset() and yOffset() -(4) KFileIconView holds a QPtrDict to look up a QIconViewItem quickly from a - given KFileItem. This will help for e.g. deleteItems and refreshItems. -(5) KFileListView holds a QPtrDict to find the QListViewItem for a - KFileItem. It implements different modes if we want the tree view in - kfile ? - - - KFileChooserWidget - -This (base) class is the container widget that can contain any kfileview and -switch between them. It is embeddable into an application that wants a widget -for choosing a file or directory. Features listing, selecting, popupmenu for -switching modes, and a virtual createView( viewmode ) method, which -only knows about the builtin views, in this class. -It knows the current URL, has setURL(), and triggers the listing, connecting -KFileView's requests to KDirLister's methods. - - KFileManagerWidget - -This class inherits from KFileChooserWidget and adds the file management -operations. It uses a KFileOperations class (taken from the current -KonqOperations) for all KIO operations, and it uses KFileUndo, taken from -the KonqUndo stuff. The popupMenu method is reimplemented to add those -operations to it. - - KFileWidget - -This class is the full widget that can be seen in the dialog. It has the -toolbar buttons, the combo, etc. It embeds a KFileChooserWidget or a -KFileManagerWidget, the latter being a specialisation of the former. - -The Konqueror side of things -============================ - - KonqFileIconView - -Inherits KFileIconView and adds image preview - unless we want it in -KFileIconView, and the line-up-icons algorithm, etc. - - KonqFileListView - -Inherits KFileListView to add more stuff if needed. The mc-like text view -could be implemented here as well, unless we want it in kfile. Same for the -tree view. - - KonqFileManagerWidget - -This class inherits KFileManagerWidget and adds the konqueror stuff, like -the enableAction signal. It also reimplements createView to create the -konqueror versions of the views. - - KonqDirPart - -This class inherits KParts::ReadOnlyPart, and provides a BrowserExtension. -It integrates KonqFileManagerWidget as its KParts widget, and provides -KActions for it. - -Important : - -Make sure to take kfind into account. It would be nice if it could use the -same views as konqueror, to have access to all the view modes, as well as -image preview, etc. - -Unrelated: -To Add -====== - -Mime Mappings? - -Filter= ( Mime Type | shell glob list ) -Mime Type -> shell glob list |
