480  * for bug reporting, multiple authors and contributors
481  * (using KAboutPerson), license and copyright information.
482  *
483  * Currently, the values set here are shown by the "About" box
484  * (see KAboutDialog), used by the bug report dialog (see KBugReport),
485  * and by the help shown on command line (see KAboutData::setupCommandLine()).
486  *
487  * Porting Notes: Since KDE Frameworks 5.0, the translation catalog mechanism
488  * must be provided by your translation framework to load the correct catalog
489  * instead (eg: KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain() for KI18n, or
490  * QCoreApplication::installTranslator() for Qt's translation system). This
491  * applies to the old setCatalogName() and catalogName() members. But see also
492  * K4AboutData in kde4support as a compatibility class.
493  *
494  * Example:
495  * Setting the metadata of an application using KAboutData in code also relying
496  * on the KDE Framework modules KI18n and KDBusAddons:
497  * @code
498  * // create QApplication instance
499  * QApplication app(argc, argv);
500  * // setup translation string domain for the i18n calls
501  * KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain("foo");
502  * // create a KAboutData object to use for setting the application metadata
503  * KAboutData aboutData("foo", i18n("Foo"), "0.1",
504  * i18n("To Foo or not To Foo"),
505  * KAboutLicense::LGPL,
506  * i18n("Copyright 2017 Bar Foundation"), QString(),
507  * "https://www.foo-the-app.net");
508  * // overwrite default-generated values of organizationDomain & desktopFileName
509  * aboutData.setOrganizationDomain("barfoundation.org");
510  * aboutData.setDesktopFileName("org.barfoundation.foo");
511  *
512  * // set the application metadata
513  * KAboutData::setApplicationData(aboutData);
514  * // in GUI apps set the window icon manually, not covered by KAboutData
515  * // needed for environments where the icon name is not extracted from
516  * // the information in the application's desktop file
517  * QApplication::setWindowIcon(QIcon::fromTheme(QStringLiteral("foo")));
518  *
519  * // integrate with commandline argument handling
520  * QCommandLineParser parser;
521  * aboutData.setupCommandLine(&parser);
522  * // setup of app specific commandline args
523  * [...]
524  * parser.process(app);
