hooray, thank you, god, thank you for everyone who decided to fork KDE 3: KDE 4 is a complete nightmare, which is not surprising given that they tried to copy vista, the most hated and despised version of windows ever. i actually lost a friend because of installing KDE 4 on their computer for them (without realising that that's what would end up on it).
anyway - yes. really really glad to see kde 3 is still going.
right. about 4 years ago i worked on superkaramba. absolutely loved it. added some great features: reading the "system menu" so that you could, instead of having to arse about creating rollerbars that you then had to manually edit the ~/.blahblah config file or worse hand-edit a python file, you could just use the standard KDE application/system editor. this feature made it into KDE 3.5.
i then created a theme which made good use of this: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=31081
the _next_ feature that i added was to go "hmm, how far can we take this?" and i added support for URIs e.g. enumeration of application:/ system:/ and media:/ and file:/ or any KIO device in fact, so that you could create an entire desktop file browser - in python - viewing files etc. and you can click on and run applications, or create media icons... whatever.
i then created a theme which used _that_: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/WheelOfFortune?content=34021
the problem was that this development clashed with the introduction of "plasma" which was supposed to be all spiffy and wonderful, but has turned into a complete dog's dinner. so, anyway, the lead developer of superkaramba said "whoa, hang on, i don't want superkaramba turning into plasma" at which point i ended all development efforts.
... four years later, kde4 and plasma have a cult "hate" thing going :) even meester leenus torvalds has rejected KDE 4 in favour of LXDE / XFCE.
so with that as background, my question to you - the trinity developers is: would you be interested in incorpoorating the dirlister patches into superkaramba?

Welcome!
The current process is to submit patches to the bugzilla because SVN is frozen until everything is migrated to GIT.
By the way, we want here in this list to focus on Trinity and let everybody else be. :) Yeah, we're here because of philosophical and usage differences. No need to attack other developers --- plenty of room in this world for different desktops. :)

ok. i'll have to double-check it's all hunky-dory and still works, so it won't exactly be like... tomorrow, anyway.

mm... the train wreck has happened, maybe they'll pull out of it. thank god for source code.
oh - and rock on, bloody well done for taking on qt3. i've done openembedded development.... you know... the size and speed difference between qt3 and qt4 is just... unbelievable.
hmm... qt3 doesn't have a qtwebkit object, does it? ... would you like one? *waggles-eyebrows* :)

YES PLEASE!
Might be worth looking at using TQt to do it.
