Google Summer of Code; File size based folder view

[Frank Reininghaus]

Hi,

I'm certainly not qualified to answer any GSoC related questions, I just want 
to point out that SpaceMonger seems to have some overlap with Konqueror's 
"File Size View" and with Filelight, which used to be available as a KPart in 
Konqueror 3.x (it's being ported to KDE 4 now, I think). Maybe it's better to 
join forces with these projects than to start something from scratch ;-)

File Size View and Filelight are only available as KParts in Konqueror though, 
not in Dolphin, and implementing something like this in Dolphin would require 
a major code change, I think.

Best regards
Frank
