/** * \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 * TDEIO::NetAccess class (for easy synchronous access) or via the * TDEIO::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. * * TDETrader: * 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 TDEListView, showing things like filename, file size, * permissions etc. in separate columns. And there is a horizontally scrolling * view based on TDEIconView. 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 TDEIO::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 TDEListView 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 TDEIconDialog class shows a list of icons installed on the system (as * accessible via TDEIconLoader) 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 TDEIO 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 TDEIconView. * * KFileDetailView: * The KFileView based on TDEListView. * * 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. * */
