The File Selection Dialog

4.3

Purpose

The kfile library provides the file selection dialog and its components.

Description

The file dialog is available to all kde applications by using the KFileDialog class from the KIO library. This class doesn't contain the actual implementation of the file dialog, however: it dynamically opens the code that contains the implementation. The kfile library provides KFileWidget, which is the main widget in the file dialog, as well as the KDirOperator widget which contains the file views, and other components of the file dialog. Applications only need to link to libkfile if they need direct access to KFileWidget or KDirOperator or to the other widgets used by the file dialog, either in order to modify the behavior of the file dialog, or to reuse its components into the application itself.
