The old code would watch the free space on a mount point, i.e.,
determine the free space again, in 10-second intervals, only until the
view became invisible once (even if it was invisible only for a very
short moment, i.e., while splitting the view).
This commit ensures that the mount point is watched again as soon as
the corresponding view becomes visible again.
Moreover, the object that watches the free space for a mount point is
shared among all views that show URLs that belong to this mount point.
To achieve this, there is a central cache which can be used to obtain
an existing MountPointObserver for a certain path. If necessary, a new
MountPointObserver is created and added to the cache.
The MountPointObserver is removed from the cache and destroyed only if
no views use it any more, and no new users appear until the next update
(which happens every 10 seconds). This prevents that the free space is
measured repeatedly when changing the current directory on the same
mount point.
Many thanks to Emmanuel Pescosta for the initial ideas to factor out
the "free space" code and to establish a central storage for the
"observer" objects, and for providing many good suggestions how to
improve the code!
BUG: 327708
REVIEW: 118208

So that filenames that look like HTML don't get fancy-formatted when
we show info about them (i.e. on hover)
This patch fixes the same issue in two places:
- dolphin, by setting Qt::PlainText on the status bar's label
- konqueror, by escaping setStatusBarText strings emitted by
DolphinPart

This fixes the problem that the Dolphin window has a rather large
minimum size. A side effect of this was that splitting the view could
resize the window (because twice the minimum status bar width was
needed then).

See http://agateau.com/2011/04/21/kde-ux-2011/ for more details.
This simplifies the statusbar in Dolphin a lot and allows to
do a proper eliding in case if status-messages are too long: In
this case a tooltip will show the whole status-message (thanks
to Wolfgang Mader for the initial patch!).
There is still missing some finetuning but the general approach
seems to work quite nice.

If the sorting is done for data which is resolved asynchronously
(e.g. rating), it is important to give a visual feedback about
the state of the sorting. This is done now by a progress
indication in the statusbar.
Also optimizations for "Sort by type" have been done: Although
resolving a type can be expensive in the most often case it is a
very cheap operation. So it the sorting is done by type, try
to resolve the type synchronously for at least 200 ms to prevent
a asynchronous resorting. This is usually sufficient to have
resolved types even for directories with several thousands of
items.
BUG: 292733
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
Dolphin 2.0 will get a new view-engine with the
following improvements:
- Better performance
- Animated transitions
- No clipped filenames due to dynamic item-sizes
- Grouping support for all view-modes
- Non-rectangular selection areas
- Simplified code for better maintenance
More details will be provided in a blog-entry during
the next days.
Please note that the code is in a very
early alpha-stage and although the most tricky parts
have been implemented already very basic things like
drag and drop or selections have not been pushed yet.
Those things are rather trivial to implement but this
still will take some time.
- Provide proper size hints instead of hiding extensions on small widths
- Provide context menu, which allows to enable/disable the zoom level extension and the space info extension. Also copying the status bar text is possible (useful e. g. for error messages).
