Detailed Description

A KFileItem is a generic class to handle a file, local or remote.

In particular, it makes it easier to handle the result of TDEIO::listDir (UDSEntry isn't very friendly to use). It includes many file attributes such as mimetype, icon, text, mode, link...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KFileItem::KFileItem ( const TDEIO::UDSEntry &  _entry,
const KURL &  _url,
bool  _determineMimeTypeOnDemand = false,
bool  _urlIsDirectory = false 
)

Creates an item representing a file, from a UDSEntry.

This is the preferred constructor when using TDEIO::listDir().

Parameters
_entrythe TDEIO entry used to get the file, contains info about it
_urlthe file url
_determineMimeTypeOnDemandspecifies if the mimetype of the given URL should be determined immediately or on demand
_urlIsDirectoryspecifies if the url is just the directory of the fileitem and the filename from the UDSEntry should be used.

Definition at line 68 of file tdefileitem.cpp.

KFileItem::KFileItem ( mode_t  _mode,
mode_t  _permissions,
const KURL &  _url,
bool  _determineMimeTypeOnDemand = false 
)

Creates an item representing a file, from all the necessary info for it.

Parameters
_modethe file mode (according to stat() (e.g. S_IFDIR...) Set to KFileItem::Unknown if unknown. For local files, KFileItem will use stat().
_permissionsthe access permissions If you set both the mode and the permissions, you save a ::stat() for local files. Set to KFileItem::Unknown if you don't know the mode or the permission.
_urlthe file url
_determineMimeTypeOnDemandspecify if the mimetype of the given URL should be determined immediately or on demand

Definition at line 86 of file tdefileitem.cpp.

KFileItem::KFileItem ( const KURL &  url,
const TQString &  mimeType,
mode_t  mode 
)

Creates an item representing a file, for which the mimetype is already known.

Parameters
urlthe file url
mimeTypethe name of the file's mimetype
modethe mode (S_IFDIR...)

void KFileItem::run ( )

Let's "KRun" this file ! (e.g.

when file is clicked or double-clicked or return is pressed)

Definition at line 1016 of file tdefileitem.cpp.

void KFileItem::setExtraData ( const void *  key,
void *  value 
)
virtual

This allows to associate some "extra" data to a KFileItem.

As one KFileItem can be used by several objects (often views) which all need to add some data, you have to use a key to reference your extra data within the KFileItem.

That way a KFileItem can hold and provide access to all those views separately.

I.e. a KFileIconView that associates a KFileIconViewItem (an item suitable for use with TQIconView) does

tdefileItem->setExtraData( this, iconViewItem );

and can later access the iconViewItem by doing

KFileIconViewItem *iconViewItem = static_cast<KFileIconViewItem*>( tdefileItem->extraData( this ));

This is usually more efficient then having every view associate data to items by using a separate TQDict or TQMap.

Note: you have to remove and destroy the data you associated yourself when you don't need it anymore!

Parameters
keythe key of the extra data
valuethe value of the extra data
