This is just a rough draft: The rubberband gets visible and an
automatic scrolling is done if the autoscroll-margins have been
reached. However currently no items get selected yet. Currently
the autoscrolling has a severe bug if the scrollbars are manually
changed before or after a rubberband selection.
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.
A possible crash in one Dolphin window should not result in crashing
other Dolphin windows. Beside this it also prevents issues with
modal dialogs or notifications.

Adjust the preview-settings to allow users to configure thumbnail-plugins. For consistency also the service-settings have been adjusted to use the ServiceModel and ServiceItemDelegate.
The filter-panel should be disabled if the current folder is not indexed at all. Also when triggering a "Find" the filter-panel should stay invisible per default when the current folder is not indexed.

of the problems related to Dolphin's modifications to QTreeView works
as it should.
This is only a small start, but I hope that we can cover at least the
basic functionality of DolphinView, the three item views and possibly
a couple of other classes with a rather stable API soon.
svn path=/trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/; revision=1188049
Background info: QTreeView does not respect the width of a cell for the hover-feedback and the selections. This has been adjusted in DolphinDetailsView already, but the required code for this is quite large. This made it tricky to maintain the really Dolphin-specific parts in DolphinDetailsView.

svn path=/trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/; revision=1168586
- As additional columns in the details view
- As additional lines in the icons view
- As menu entries in the "Sort By" and "Additional Information" groups
- As popup menu entries in the details view header popup
- As checkable entries in the View Properties dialog
To prevent similar painful transitions in future, the class AdditionalInfoManager has been introduced. All parts in Dolphin that access/show/store additional information, use the AdditionalInfoManager now. If a new information entry will be added in KFileItemDelegate in future, only a small adjustment in AdditionalInfoManager will be required.
Still open currently:
- AdditionalInfoDialog does not use AdditionalInfoManager yet
- DolphinView::Sorting should be replaced by KFileItemDelegate::Information, so that the sorting can also be done in a generic way.
- The data for KFileItemDelegate::PathOrUrl is not determined
The open issues will get fixed during the next days.
Kudos to the brave warriors Sebastian and Frank, that tried to add a new information ;-)

Columview refactoring: Get rid of "isColumnView()" special cases in DolphinView and the interface code duplications due to delegating non-QAbstractItemView interfaces to the column view.

Currently there are some regressions in the column view, but this will be fixed during the next 14 days.

To keep the Information Panel maintainable and prepared for future features a cleanup has been done. The whole user interface handling has been moved into the class InformationPanelContent that offers a straight forward interface: showItem(const KFileItem& item) and showItems(const KFileItemList& items).
The class InformationPanel is responsible for calling those methods in a way that hovering items, changing directories, doing selections, rename and delete operations, ... don't result in calling showItem() 10 times per second.
This cleanup won't be backported to KDE 4.3.x

- A nicer comment widget shows a popup to edit the comment.
- A tag cloud replaces the ugly tagwidget from libnepomuk.
The plan is to use Dolphin as a testbed to optimize the look and then
move at least the tagcloud to libnepomuk to make it available for all apps
since this is a common feature.
So please test it and provide feedback. The layout is still cluttered. So we
also need feedback on that. And of course on the usability.
Apart from the GUI Dolphin now uses the mass metadata update job to perform
metadata updates on many files in an async KJob without blocking the GUI.
This is another candidate for public API at some point.
