Pino,

Thank you for the time you took to review the code. I think I may have sent
an outdated patch as Albert addressed a few of these issues with me as well.
However, every other point you bring up is valid.

I just want to know why? Maybe KDirModel may be a better KDE api option but
its not necessarily easy to set up. This would require me to reimplement
quite a few things in the dialog( which is not a problem I just want to know
that its justified). If a KDirModel is necessary then I will definitely need
more time.

Because the proxy model would have to implement catching these which would
have taken a few more lines of code. That's not a big deal but I will wait
until the KDirModel.

Argghhh, this has been bugging me for a while. I cant get the view to resize
the table to contents efficiently. The resizeColumnsToContents() is a slot I
havent quite figured out yet. Any suggestions?

Hmmm, any suggestions?

I have refactored this process a bit. But I still do believe that a regular
expression match may be the best way to find and delete a file size of
varying digit lengths as well as a .xml that __has__ to be at the end.

I understand what you mean and this is why I have held off a little on
fixing some of the issues that will take a longer time. Does anybody else
have any thoughts on this?
