[Okular-devel] GSOC 2015

[saheb preet singh]

Hi,

Previously, I had done a small proof of concept for implementing the layers
list in the left side bar. Okular was crashing on closing the document, for
some reasons.

Today, I was restructuring and properly implementing the list. I was able
to populate the list in a list view and enable or disable the layers button
depending on if they are present in the document. Also, I fixed the
crashing of the okular in my previous code on closing document.

Here is a screen shot of the work so far:-

Note:- Layers icon and some styling is still to be done.

Now, I have some doubts.

Firstly, where should I show my code. Should I post it on review board as a
diff or should I wait for the contributor account on kde and commit push my
code at regular intervals?

Secondly, I have implemented the layers view directly through subclass of
QAbstractItemModel ( OptionalContentModel ) provided by the backend to
render the view. Should I create a layers model as done in case of table of
content model( TOCModel ) for abstraction between different backends or
should I assume that each backend or its generator would return me some
subclass of QAbstractItemModel?

Best,
Saheb Preet Singh
