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.
If the Search Panel is shown outside the context of the "Find" mode it
will be always enabled and does a global search. Only if the user is in
the "Find" mode and the searching is restricted to the current directory
the Search Panel might get disabled if the current directory is not
indexed. This solves the major usability issue that it was not clear
for the users whether a global or restricted search is done.
When the selection is changed using the cursor keys, the statusbar
should be updated. Until now, this didn't actually happen directly after
an operation ending in a OperationCompletedMessage, because the
OperationCompletedMessage was protected.
This patch changes the behaviour to only protect ErrorMessages in the
ViewContainer. When an OperationCompletedMessage was issued very
recently, it keeps being protected by DolphinStatusbar itself.
Statusbar updates in the ViewContainer are only triggered by
a) user actions (move keyboard focus, enter something in the filter bar)
b) finished filed jobs
In case a), the update is desired, also overriding
OperationCompletedMessages.
In case b), the OperationCompletedMessage issued by the file command is
issues so shortly before the call to updateStatusBar, that the
DolphinStatusBar skips the message anyway (see
DolphinStatusBar::setMessage).

Most developers seem to prefer
if (ptr) ...
if (!ptr) ...
in comparison to
if (ptr != 0) ...
if (ptr == 0) ...
Adjusted the Dolphin-code to use the "most-prefered style" to make contributors happy.
In this case the "From Here"/"Everywhere" buttons and the "Filename"/"Content" buttons are useless. Currently they just get disabled but the plan is to provide a better visual indication of the current query and to remove them completely.
Update to SVN commit 1205329:
- Fix issue that an undetermined progress is shown when switching between columns of the column-view.
- Fix issue that no undetermined progress is shown when editing the URL directly in the URL navigator

showing metadata for the currently selected folder. This way we can even get rid of the
special handling of nepomuksearch:/ URLs since the KIO slave provides a nice name and
all you need to show to the user.
Even nicer: When clicking an entry in the metadata view the resulting query will be related
to the one clicked resource. This resource will then be represented by the query folder.
So all in all this patch makes Dolphin more generic while additionally activating a new feature.

The ViewModeController offers a defined interface to control view mode implementations like icons view, details view and column view. The DolphinViewController allows those view mode implementations to control the parent DolphinView in a limited way.

makes it possible to restore the expanded folders in the Details View
when navigating in history (based on r1056438 and r1079843).
Also remove DolphinView::activateItem(const KUrl&) and DolphinView's
m_loadingDirectory member (they are not needed any more).
This will be in KDE 4.5.

1. the current item,
2. the scroll position of the view, and
3. the expansion state of the details view.
Before 3. can be implemented in Dolphin itself, some changes in
KUrlNavigator are required.
This fix will be in KDE 4.4.
