class KPropertiesDialog |
|
|
The main properties dialog class. A Properties Dialog is a dialog which displays various information about a particular file or URL, or several files or URLs. 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, and sometimes change, information about the file or URL. The best way to display the properties dialog is to use showDialog(). Otherwise, you should use (void)new KPropertiesDialog(...) It will take care of deleting itself when closed. If you are looking for more flexibility, see KFileMetaInfo and KFileMetaInfoWidget. |
|
Brings up a Properties dialog, as shown above. This is the normal constructor for file-manager type applications, where you have a KFileItem instance to work with. Normally you will use this method rather than the one below.
item - file item whose properties should be displayed. parent - is the parent of the dialog widget. name - is the internal name. |
|
You use this constructor for cases where you have a number of items, rather than a single item. Be careful which methods you use when passing a list of files or URLs, since some of them will only work on the first item in a list.
_items - list of file items whose properties should be displayed. parent - is the parent of the dialog widget. name - is the internal name. |
|
Brings up a Properties dialog. Convenience constructor for non-file-manager applications, where you have a KUrl rather than a KFileItem or KFileItemList.
_url - the URL whose properties should be displayed parent - is the parent of the dialog widget. name - is the internal name. IMPORTANT: This constructor, together with exec(), leads to a grave display bug (due to KIO.stat() being run before the dialog has all the necessary information). Do not use this combination for now. TODO: Check if the above is still true with Qt4. For local files with a known mimetype, simply create a KFileItem and pass it to the other constructor. |
|
Creates 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 type applications.
_tempUrl - 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. |
|
Creates an empty properties dialog (for applications that want use a standard dialog, but for things not doable via the plugin-mechanism).
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. |
|
|
To abort applying changes. |
|
This signal is emitted when the properties changes are applied (for example, with the OK button) |
|
Determine whether there are any property pages available for the given file items. _items - the list of items to check. Returns true if there are any property pages, otherwise false. |
|
This signal is emitted when the properties changes are aborted (for example, with the Cancel button) |
|
If the dialog is being built from a template, this method returns the current directory. If no template, it returns QString(). See the template form of the constructor. Returns the current directory or QString() |
|
If the dialog is being built from a template, this method returns the default name. If no template, it returns QString(). See the template form of the constructor. Returns the default name or QString() |
|
Adds a "3rd party" properties plugin to the dialog. Useful for extending the properties mechanism. To create a new plugin type, inherit from the base class KPropertiesDialogPlugin and implement all the methods. If you define a service .desktop file for your plugin, you do not need to call insertPlugin().
plugin - is a pointer to the KPropertiesDialogPlugin. The Properties dialog will do destruction for you. The KPropertiesDialogPlugin must have been created with the KPropertiesDialog as its parent. See also KPropertiesDialogPlugin |
|
Returns the file item for which the dialog is shown Warning: this method returns the first item of the list. This means that you should use this only if you are sure the dialog is used for a single item. Otherwise, you probably want items() instead. |
|
Returns the items for which the dialog is shown |
|
The URL of the file that has its properties being displayed. This is only valid if the KPropertiesDialog was created/shown for one file or URL. Returns a parsed URL. |
|
|
This signal is emitted when the Properties Dialog is closed (for example, with OK or Cancel buttons) |
|
Renames the item to the specified name. This can only be called if the dialog applies to a single file or URL. _name - new filename, encoded. See also FilePropsDialogPlugin.applyChanges |
|
Emitted before changes to oldUrl are saved as newUrl. The receiver may change newUrl to point to an alternative save location. |
|
Call this to make the filename lineedit readonly, to prevent the user from renaming the file. ro - true if the lineedit should be read only |
|
Sets the file sharing page. This page is shown when calling showFileSharingPage().
page - the page to set See also showFileSharingPage |
|
Immediately displays a Properties dialog using constructor with the same parameters. On MS Windows, if item points to a local file, native (non modal) property dialog is displayed (@p parent and modal are ignored in this case). Returns true on successful dialog displaying (can be false on win32). |

Immediately displays a Properties dialog using constructor with the same parameters. On MS Windows, if _items has one element and this element points to a local file, native (non modal) property dialog is displayed (@p parent and modal are ignored in this case). Returns true on successful dialog displaying (can be false on win32). |
|
Shows the page that was previously set by setFileSharingPage(), or does nothing if no page was set yet. See also setFileSharingPage |
|
Called when the user presses 'Cancel'. |
|
Called when the user presses 'Ok'. |
|
Updates the item URL (either called by rename or because a global apps/mimelnk desktop file is being saved) Can only be called if the dialog applies to a single file or URL. _newUrl - the new URL |
