Metadata like image-size, rating, comments, tags, ... can be shown
now in the view (e.g. as column in the Details mode).
Still open: The rating-information needs to be shown as stars.
In the context of this feature also the following bugs have been
fixed:
- Fix visual glitches in the header of the Details mode
- Improve the minimum column width calculation to respect also
the headling and not only the content
BUG: 296782
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
It's now possible to change the timeout, after which any call of
KItemListKeyboardSearchManager::addKeys(const QString&) starts a new
search, from the default value of 5000 milliseconds. This is not used
in Dolphin at the moment, but it permits to reduce the timeout to a
small value in the unit test. Before this change, the unit test took
more than 5 seconds to complete.
(cherry picked from commit 82fc1b54bd)
The previous timeout [QApplication::keyboardInputInterval()] was too
short to do a multi-letter search for users who do not type extremely
fast.
(cherry picked from commit 02eab49b2d)
- Remove KItemListView::preferredRoleColumnWidth() and allow implementing
this as part of derived classes from KItemListWidget. Those derived
classes are aware about the layout and hence also can provide the
preferred role width.
- Make KItemListView::itemSizeHint() non-virtual and also allow
implementing the size hint as part of derived classes from KItemListWidget.
Let derived classes from KItemListView just implement
preferredColumnWidth() for one role of an item instead of returning
a hashtable for a given item-range.
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
When downloading images from e.g. the camera-IO-slave the files
will be downloaded as *.part files and renamed afterwards. The renaming
results in an undetermined mimetype and hence the probably already available
preview or icon gets replaced by a dummy icon. The patch fixes this by
keeping the old values as long until they have been resolved by
KFileItemModelRolesUpdater.
The comparison of expanded trees may not assume that directories
are always sorted first and must respect the "Sort folders first"
setting.
The sorting-unittest has been extended by a sub-tree and the usecase
of bug 296437. The already deactivated test for
KFileItemModel::expandedParentsCountCompare() has been completely removed
as it has been replaced by testSorting().
BUG: 296437
FIXED-IN: 4.8.2
Now KFileItemModel provides a way to access the available roles
including their translations. Note that the 3 roles "comments",
"rating" and "tags" have not been implemented yet in KFileItemModel
and turning them on does not work currently.
Currently Dolphin is only capable of showing a fixed number of
roles (e.g. name, size, date, owner, ...). Dolphin 2.1 should
support also other roles like rating, tags, comments or other
meta-information of images or audio-files.
To support this the sorting-type and additional-type from
DolphinView has been replaced by a role-type represented as
QByteArray.
The option for turning off expandable folders has been removed with
the new view-engine. Due to several requests this option has been
readded again.
As for 4.8.x no new user-interface strings may be introduced, the
line
ExpandableFolders=false
must be manually added below the section "[DetailsMode]" in the file
~/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc if the expandable-folders feature
should be disabled.
Thanks to H.H. "cyberbeat" for the initial patch!

Explicitly check whether a dragging is ongoing to decide whether a
tooltip may be shown or not, just using QApplication::mouseButtons()
is not sufficient when dragging between windows.
BUG: 294533
FIXED-IN: 4.8.1
Up to now the alternating backgrounds just have been calculated by
checking whether the item index is odd. This does not work well when
grouping is enabled: In this case the alternate background color
of the first item of a group should stay consistent.
If the visible roles of the details-view are equal to the visible roles
of other views, then switching to the details-view will trigger an
assert because the invisible roles don't get updated.
Thanks to Frank Reininghaus for the detailed analyses!
In the context of this fix optimizations have been done when switching
view-modes: The "don't-animate-workaround" could be removed.
BUG: 294531
FIXED-IN: 4.8.1
Up to now KItemListView has not been aware to which column or row
an item belongs to. This has been handled internally in
KItemListViewLayouter. But for deciding whether a move-animation
might result in overlapping items it is mandatory to be aware about
the column/row. The current approach to guess a column/row change
by comparing the source- and target-rectangle works very well but
breaks on some corner-cases when e.g. zooming.
Now the layouter allows to access the information. This assures
that in the vertical alignment no move-animation is done between
rows and the in the horizontal alignment no move-animation is
done between the columns.
