Detailed Description

Kdelibs4Migration provides support for locating config files and application data files saved by kdelibs 4 in the user's home directory ($KDEHOME, i.e.

typically ~/.kde).

Distributions that built kdelibs4 with a custom KDE home with the CMake option _KDE_DEFAULT_HOME_POSTFIX should use the same option here with _KDE4_DEFAULT_HOME_POSTFIX

The purpose is to be able to let the application migrate these files to the KF5/Qt5 location for these files (QStandardPaths).

Files from the "config" resource (as saved by KConfig) should be migrated to QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::ConfigLocation)

Files from the "data" resource should be migrated to a subdirectory of QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)

The following resources are supported:

• config
• data
• services
• servicetypes
• wallpaper
• emoticons
• templates

Use kdeHome() for anything else.

QString Kdelibs4Migration::kdeHome

(

)

const

Returns the kdehome that was found.

Don't use this method if you can use locateLocal or saveLocation

Since

5.13

Definition at line 66 of file kdelibs4migration.cpp.

bool Kdelibs4Migration::kdeHomeFound

(

)

const

Returns true if a "kdehome" was found.

Otherwise, there is nothing to migrate.

QString Kdelibs4Migration::locateLocal	(	const char *	type,
		const QString &	filename
	)		const

Finds a local file in a resource.

This API is inspired by KStandardDirs::locateLocal for ease of porting.

Parameters

type	The type of wanted resource.
filename	A relative filename of the resource.

Definition at line 71 of file kdelibs4migration.cpp.

QString Kdelibs4Migration::saveLocation	(	const char *	type,
		const QString &	suffix = QString()
	)		const

Finds a location to save files into for the given type in the user's home directory.

Parameters

type	The type of location to return.
suffix	A subdirectory name.
