- Move all private headers from the kitemviews-directory into
the 'private' subdirectory.
- Get rid of DolphinDirLister and just use a directory-lister
internally in KFileItemModel.
- Minor interface-cleanups for signals
Until now when a new column is added in the case where custom column widths
are used, the automatic resizing has been turned on again. The patch fixes
this so that the current widths stay and the new column gets a proper default
width.
If the user changed a column-width in the details-view, up to now
the width got reset when changing a directory or when restarting
Dolphin. Now the column-widths automatically get remembered for each
directory in case if the user has modified the width. The automatic
resizing is still turn on per default. The storing of the custom
column-width can easily be reset by right clicking on the header and
selecting "Automatic Column Widths" from the context-menu.
Some finetuning is still necessary (e.g. the "Adjust View Properties"
dialog currently is not aware about this setting) but this will
be fixed during the next weeks.
BUG: 264434
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
With the new view-engine the name-column always has been expanded
to the maximum width of all available names. But this makes it
impossible to see other columns without scrolling when having long
filenames, so per default the Dolphin 1.x behavior has been applied
to the new view-engine so that the name-column-width gets decreased
to be able to show the other columns.
This patch will be released with KDE applications 4.8.2. For
Dolphin 2.1 (KDE applications 4.9) user-modified widths of the
columns will be remembered per directory also between different
sessions.
CCBUG: 264434
If the user has changed the sort-role or sort-order by clicking on the view-header of the details-view, the settings have been adjusted to the model but not remembered in the directory settings.
- Open the context menu on the mouse-press event, not on the
mouse-release event.
- Provide an explicit position-information and don't use
QCursor::pos(). This fixes the issue that opening a context-menu
by the keyboard opens below the cursor.
- Provide different signals in the KItemListController for
the different context-menu types (item vs. view vs. header).
- Implement turning on/off roles by the header-context-menu.
QFontMetrics::averageCharWidth() is quite slow and does not work
well on fonts with broken characters. In the
usecases required by Dolphin QFontMetrics::height() is a better
and faster alternative to get a font-dependent minimum width.
Thanks go to Christoph Feck for this hint!
