[Kde-extra-gear] KGraphViewer ideas ...

[Sandro Andrade]

Hi Gaël,

In the KDevelop plugin I'm developing the control flow graphs are saved in a
temporary file and they have to be updated in response to user navigation in
code editor. So, I'm rewriting the *same* temporary file and everything I
need is a way to tell the part to reload this temporary file. I know the
file watcher takes care of file updates and asks the user for reloading it.

Some questions:

1) What happens if I invoke openUrl more than once with different KUrls ?
All the files will be watched ?
2) A watcher that doesn't ask the user for reloading confirmation would
solve my problem. Can we parameterize this stuff or something similar ?
Currently, I'm using different temporary files for graph update, which is
quite time-consuming. If I use the same file, an always increasing number of
reloading confirmation messages begins to appear, due to the addFile
invocation on the watcher ...

Thanks,
Sandro
