Review request for Calligra.


Changes
-------

Todo:
apply KoFileDialogHelper to minor dialogs which load/save custom config/resource files
all Kexi stuff (KexiFileWidget -> native file dialogs)

Testing Done:
old features still work on mac.
I don't have QCA on mac, so didn't test whether it actually save as encrypted, but the createStore part is not modified so it should work as it used to be.

Known Issues:
when saving to directory it cannot create new dir but save to current dir selected in file dialog
menu entries sometimes lost in Flow but that is another issue


Repository: calligra


Description
-------

Currently kfiledialog and kofiledialog is widely used, this results in non-native file dialog on Mac/Windows/Gnome. However, qfiledialog static methods does not support modal sheet in Mac, so a KoModalFileDialog is created for window-modal file dialog, such as save as or import, while other file dialog such as open will use qfiledialog static methods.

This is a very first version which blocks save as encrypted since encrypted odf has same suffix as normal odf while when using native dialog you have to use suffix to distinguish different format. My idea is to create another menu item "Save As Encrypted..." where encrypted odf will be saved.

There are still many file dialogs not touched yet, and for places where kfilewidget is used, such as startup file open widget, kexi file widget, export to pdf widget, it is impossible to use native dialog. My idea is redesign those widget and split the configure part and file chooser part into two separate dialogs, then use native file dialogs.
