[Semi-patch] Konqueror dirfilterplugin

[Simon St James]

Hi all,

Adrien's post, here

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=121803038920475&w=2

was interesting timing, as I think I'm running into similar issues.

I saw someone on the Dot who was apparently very upset that dirfilterplugin 
wasn't working for Konqueror 4.0, and so I had a go at fixing it (it's that 
plugin that puts a line editor in the Extra toolbar so that you can filter 
out files by filename).

It's mostly working, but I'm running into a few issues: the original 
dirfilterplugin used an interesting hack to get hold of some of the Konqueror 
internals (using qFindChild) and I've done the same here, but it feels rather 
naughty as I'm grabbing rather private parts of Dolphin and manipulating them 
without its permission, which I'm quite sure is illegal in most parts of the 
world.  It also doesn't work at all with column view, as this requires some 
additional hacks, as noted in the Dolphin source.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I've added "HACK HACK HACK" markers to the 
relevant parts of the patch and my own suggestions but, again, I'm still 
pretty new to this :)

I'm a subscriber, so no need to CC me :)

Best Wishes,
Simon
