Detailed Description

The main properties dialog class. A Properties Dialog is a dialog which displays various information about a particular file or URL. This main class holds various related classes, which are instantiated in the form of tab entries in the tabbed dialog that this class provides. The various tabs themselves will let the user view or change information about the file or URL.

This class must be created with (void)new PropertiesDialog(...) It will take care of deleting itself.

[static]

Returns: whether there are any property pages available for the given file items

Bring up a Properties dialog. Normal constructor for file-manager-like applications. Normally you will use this method rather than the one below.

Parameters:

item	file item whose properties should be displayed.
parent	is the parent of the dialog widget.
name	is the internal name.
modal	tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
autoShow	tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.

Bring up a Properties dialog. Normal constructor for file-manager-like applications.

Parameters:

_items	list of file items whose properties should be displayed. NOTE : the current limitations of PropertiesDialog makes it use only the FIRST item in the list. This method is provided for future expansion when the properties dialog may be able to get/set properties for a group of items all at once.
parent	is the parent of the dialog widget.
name	is the internal name.
modal	tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
autoShow	tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.

Bring up a Properties dialog. Convenience constructor for non-file-manager applications.

Parameters:

_url	the URL whose properties should be displayed
_mode	the mode, as returned by stat(). Don't set if unknown.
parent	is the parent of the dialog widget.
name	is the internal name.
modal	tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
autoShow	tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.

Create a properties dialog for a new .desktop file (whose name is not known yet), based on a template. Special constructor for "File / New" in file-manager applications.

Parameters:

_templUrl	template used for reading only
_currentDir	directory where the file will be written to
_defaultName	something to put in the name field, like mimetype.desktop
parent	is the parent of the dialog widget.
name	is the internal name.
modal	tells the dialog whether it should be modal.
autoShow	tells the dialog whethr it should show itself automatically.

Create an empty properties dialog (for applications that want use a standard dialog, but for things not doable via the plugin-mechanism.

Parameters:

title	is the string display as the "filename" in the caption of the dialog.
parent	is the parent of the dialog widget.
name	is the internal name.
modal	tells the dialog whether it should be modal.

[virtual]

Cleans up the properties dialog and frees any associated resources, including the dialog itself. Note that when a properties dialog is closed it cleans up and deletes itself.

Adds a "3rd party" properties plugin to the dialog. Useful for extending the properties mechanism.

To create a new lugin type, inherit from the base class KPropsPlugin and implement all the methods.

Parameters:

plugin

is a pointer to the PropsPlugin. The Properties dialog will do destruction for you. The KPropsPlugin MUST have been created with the KPropertiesDialog as its parent.

[const]

Returns: a parsed URL. Valid only if dialog shown for one file/url.

Returns: the file item for which the dialog is shown HACK : returns the first item of the list

[const]

Returns: a pointer to the dialog

[const]

[const]

If we are building this dialog from a template,

Returns: the current directory QString::null means no template used

[const]

If we are building this dialog from a template,

Returns: the default name (see 3rd constructor) QString::null means no template used

Updates the item url (either called by rename or because a global apps/mimelnk desktop file is being saved)

Parameters:

_name

new URL

#see FilePropsPlugin::applyChanges

Parameters:

_name

new filename, encoded.

To abort applying changes

[virtual slot]

Called when the user presses 'Ok'.

Reimplemented from KDialogBase.

[signal]

Notify that we have finished with the properties (be it Apply or Cancel)
