Status update: KIO-MTP

[Philipp Schmidt]

Hi all,

just a little status update on the kio-mtp progress. The Project is now in 
playground. You can find it here:

https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/kio-mtp

The most important changes:
 - More stability
 - More speed thanks to caching, especially when copying lots of small files 
where the lookup for the file id (needed for copying) took too long. Since you 
usually list the directory they are in prior to copying they are now in the 
cache which now results in ludicrous speed (yeah Mel Brooks, I'm looking at 
you :D) increases for lots of small files (e.g. Photos), not so much for a few 
big files ;).

Still no compiling instructions, these will follow with the first "official" 
Alpha. So, if you don't now how to cmake/make/make install, leave it be for 
the time being.

Also: Would someone be willing to tolerate a guest post on his/her blog where 
I could announce it (I don't have one [yet])? Preferably Alex Fiestas, since 
he ist kind of involved ;), but I think once it is ready enough an 
announcement should be made at least somewhere, so people know it's coming.

Cheers,
Philipp
