27 * @class KPropertiesDialog kpropertiesdialog.h <KPropertiesDialog>
28 *
29 * The main properties dialog class.
30 * A Properties Dialog is a dialog which displays various information
31 * about a particular file or URL, or several files or URLs.
32 * This main class holds various related classes, which are instantiated in
33 * the form of tab entries in the tabbed dialog that this class provides.
34 * The various tabs themselves will let the user view, and sometimes change,
35 * information about the file or URL.
36 *
37 * \image html kpropertiesdialog.png "Example of KPropertiesDialog"
38 *
39 * The best way to display the properties dialog is to use showDialog().
40 * Otherwise, you should use (void)new KPropertiesDialog(...)
41 * It will take care of deleting itself when closed.
42 *
43 * If you are looking for more flexibility, see KFileMetaInfo and
44 * KFileMetaInfoWidget.
45 *
46 * This respects the "editfiletype", "run_desktop_files" and "shell_access"
47 * Kiosk action restrictions (see KAuthorized::authorize()).
