<p>osx and newer sambas send model data in the dnssd entires. this allows<br />
osx to show fitting device icons based on the remote (and CRT icons for<br />
services discovered through other means than dns-sd).<br />
e.g. if you share something from your macbook your imac will show a<br />
macbook/laptop icon instead of a generic computer screen.<br />
meanwhile machines found over SMB1 (and I guess wsdiscovery) are shown<br />
with CRT screens and a BSOD.</p>
<p>this prototype would essentially allow us to have a similar level of polish,<br />
albeit a bit dependent on samba since samba would need to have a suitable model<br />
set. for example tuxedo could set laptop-foobar in their smb.conf and a suitable<br />
icon set on clients could show a laptop or even foobar specific icon instead of the<br />
stock one.</p>
<p>so, if we know the model we'd set<br />
<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">network-server-model-$modelName</tt><br />
e.g.<br />
<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">network-server-model-laptop-foobar</tt><br />
and an icon theme would be able to provide regular icon fallbacks<br />
to theme this.</p>
<p><tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">network-server-model-laptop-foobar</tt><br />
as specific model icon (the foobar type laptop from $vendor)<br />
<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">network-server-model-laptop</tt><br />
as generic model icon if model isn't available<br />
<tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">network-server</tt><br />
as generic server icon if the specific ones are not available</p>
<p>on the WSD side we could also give WSD discovered hosts a WSD icon *cough CRT screen* ;)<br />
in point of fact, I am almost certain that I've seen something like _device-info,<br />
albeit much less precise, in one of the device profile SOAP specs. IIRC<br />
on the WSD side we can at least tell apart printers from actual computers, not sure<br />
if that is worth the headache of having to deal with more soap though *shrug*</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>have an osx machine on the network</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R320 KIO Extras</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>wsd-model</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D27642">https://phabricator.kde.org/D27642</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>smb/dnssddiscoverer.cpp<br />
