Detailed Description

KNewStuff download widget.

The download widget will present items to the user for installation, updates and removal. Preview images as well as other meta information can be seen.

knsrc Files

The Dialog is configured by a .knsrc file containing the KHotNewStuff configuration. Your application should install a file called: $KDEDIR/share/config/appname.knsrc

The file could look like this for wallpapers:

[KNewStuff3]
ProvidersUrl=http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml
Categories=KDE Wallpaper 1920x1200,KDE Wallpaper 1600x1200
StandardResource=wallpaper
Uncompress=archive

Uncompress can be one of: always, never or archive:

  1. always: assume all downloaded files are archives and need to be extracted
  2. never: never try to extract the file
  3. archive: if the file is an archive, uncompress it, otherwise just pass it on

You have different options to set the target install directory:

  1. StandardResource: standard ressouce dir, such as .kde/share/wallpapers. This is what KStandardDirs::locateLocal(name) will return.
  2. TargetDir: a directory in the share/apps section, such as .kde/share/apps/wallpapers. This is what KStandardDirs::locateLocal("data", name) will return.
  3. XdgTargetDir: a directory in the $XDG_DATA_HOME directory such as .local/share/wallpapers.
