8 This library implements almost all the file management functions you
9 will ever need. In fact, the %KDE file manager, Konqueror also uses
10 this to provide its network-enabled file management.
12 The easiest way to use this library from a %KDE application is via the
13 KIO::NetAccess class (for easy synchronous access) or via the
14 KIO::Job class (for more complex asynchronous jobs).
16 This library also implements the %KDE file selector widget (see
17 @ref filedialog "the page on the file selector widget").

37 This library provides the KDE file selector widget, its building blocks
38 and some other widgets that make use of the file selector.
40 The file dialog provides different views: there is a vertically scrolling
41 view based on K3ListView, showing things like filename, file size,
42 permissions etc. in separate columns. And there is a horizontally scrolling
43 view based on K3IconView. Additionally, there are some compound views,
44 like a view using the icon-view for files on the right side and another
45 view for directories on the left. A view, that shows a preview for the
46 currently selected file (using KIO::PreviewJob to generate previews)
47 and any other view to show the files is also available.
49 All those views share a common baseclass, named KFileView, which
50 defines the interface for inserting files into a view, removing them,
53 The one class encapsulating all those views and adding browsing capabilities
54 to them is KDirOperator. It allows the user to switch between different
57 KFileTreeView is a K3ListView based widget that displays files and/or
58 directories as a tree. It does not implement the KFileView interface,
59 however, so it can't be used with KDirOperator.
61 Besides the filebrowsing widgets, there is the KPropertiesDialog class,
62 implementing a dialog showing the name, permissions, icons, meta
63 information and all kinds of properties of a file, as well as providing a

67 KPropsDlgPlugin class.

70 accessible via KIconLoader) and allows the user to select one.
72 KOpenWithDlg implements a dialog to choose an application from, that is
73 to be run, e.g. to let the user choose an application to open a file/url
78 The class providing the file selector dialog. It combines a KDirOperator,
79 KUrlBar and several other widgets.
82 The class encapsulating different KFileViews, offering file browsing and
83 file selection. Asynchronous, network transparent reading of directories
84 is performed via the @ref KIO library.
87 A widget to be used for asking for a filename/path/URL. It consists of a
88 KLineEdit (or KComboBox) and a button. Activating the button
