[Kmymoney-devel] Some experimentd trying to move loading methods out of the GUI

[Alvaro Soliverez]

Michaël,
can you send the class to the list, so we have an example?

All, this is somewhat related to the issue we had in the saveFile method.
Moving those methods to the engine will have multiple benefits, as we can
see.
In my case, I'm interested on Akonadi for calendar and the FinanceStack and
a datasource for Plasma (a quick entry plasmoid, anyone?). And from an
architecture point of view, it's best to keep the layers separate.
So, with Michaël's help we could check which methods need to be changed, and
then work on them to split GUI and engine tasks.
What's your thought on this?

Regards,
Alvaro
