Method Documentation

__init__	(	self,
		QObject	parent=0
	)

Creates a KFileItemActions instance. Note that this instance must stay alive for at least as long as the popupmenu; it has the slots for the actions created by addOpenWithActionsTo/addServiceActionsTo.

addOpenWithActionsTo	(	self,
		QMenu	menu,
		QString	traderConstraint
	)

Generate the "Open With <Application>" actions, and adds them to the menu. All actions are created as children of the menu.

Parameters:

	menu	the QMenu where to add actions
	traderConstraint	this constraint allows to exclude the current application from the "open with" list. Example: "DesktopEntryName != 'kfmclient'".

int addServiceActionsTo	(	self,
		QMenu	menu
	)

Generate the user-defined actions and submenus, and adds them to the menu. User-defined actions include: - builtin services like mount/unmount for old-style device desktop files - user-defined actions for a .desktop file, defined in the file itself (see the desktop entry standard) - servicemenus actions, defined in .desktop files and selected based on the mimetype of the url

When KFileItemListProperties.supportsWriting() is false, actions that modify the files are not shown. This is controlled by Require=Write in the servicemenu desktop files.

All actions are created as children of the menu.

Returns:: the number of actions added

KService.List associatedApplications	(	self,
		QStringList	mimeTypeList,
		QString	traderConstraint
	)

Helper method used internally, can also be used for similar GUIs that show the list of associated applications. Used in KParts.BrowserOpenOrSaveQuestion for example.

This is basically a KMimeTypeTrader.query, but it also cleans up duplicates, and honors OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn fields.

Returns the applications associated with all the given mimetypes.

Parameters:

	mimeTypeList	the mimetypes
	traderConstraint	this optional constraint allows to exclude the current application from the "open with" list. Example: "DesktopEntryName != 'kfmclient'".

Returns:: the list of services.

Since:: 4.4

KAction preferredOpenWithAction	(	self,
		QString	traderConstraint
	)

Returns an action for the preferred application only.

Parameters:

traderConstraint

this constraint allows to exclude the current application from the "open with" list. Example: "DesktopEntryName != 'kfmclient'".

Returns:: the action - or 0 if no application was found.

setItemListProperties	(	self,
		KFileItemListProperties	itemList
	)

Sets all the data for the next instance of the popupmenu.

See also:: KFileItemListProperties

setParentWidget	(	self,
		QWidget	widget
	)

Set the parent widget for any dialogs being shown.

This should normally be your mainwindow, not a popup menu, so that it still exists even after the popup is closed (e.g. error message from KRun) and so that QAction.setStatusTip can find a statusbar, too.
