[PATCH] New KCategorizedView and more changes (kdelibs and kdebase)

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi all,

Finally I have 5 minutes with Internet to type this message...

I have here a couple patches still unfinished. Still todo:

* Fix some behavior issues on Dolphin related to Drag & Drop. I suspect that
the Dolphin view could be buggy. I haven't reviewed it though, I would need
to have a look.

* Adapt code at the very end to make everything binary compatible.

Features and changes:

* Add  a wrap mode to the KFileItemDelegate. This seems to have sense, since
it can be used for very different purposes. An example is that it can be
used in dolphin, where we can expect a "line break" in the middle of words,
for the case that filenames that are actually _long_. On the other hand, we
also use it on Systemsettings, where we don't want to break in the middle of
words. Frederik (and the rest), do you think this is OK ?

* Reconstruct KCategorizedView, with a "blocks" strategy that makes it
easily to handle and far faster than the old implementation. Also, since it
is unfinished, is not working right now, but it will be possible to expand
and collapse categories if the developer wants so.

* Revert last commit on IconMode.cpp on SystemSettings code, since it uses
magic numbers, and we can expect its breakage under certain circumstances
(e.g. very big font sizes, it will have the same width always). No hardcoded
numbers !!

* Nice looking systemsettings.

* Nice looking dolphin.

So I mainly ask for people to try it, and to give technical advice about the
patch itself. As I say, it is still not finished, and is not BC yet.

BTW, since this is an "old" patch, it can contain "@since" that are just
outdated. Ignore them for now...


Best regards and thanks,
Rafael Fernández López.
