Toolbar problems.

I needed a filebrowser for my application so I "stole" amaroK's filebrowser-class (which is based on kdevelop's filebrowser). I have managed to implement it pretty good in my app, but I'm having some troubles with the toolbar.

The filebrowsers' toolbar is merged with my "standard" toolbar like this:



I don't want it like this, I want to separate toolbars. One for the filebrowser and one standard toolbar.

This is what I mean with "standard toolbar":



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Per

Depends on how the file browser creates its toolbar.
Maybe through an XML GUI file, in which case it could be possible to place the merge point from your file to a differen toolbar.

AFAIR, amaroK created this toolbar manually (without XML GUI). So you should find the code, where he did it and move this toolbar to the main window :)

Note: better write your own filemanager with help of KDirOperator :)

I have been meaning to ask about this.. Which is easiest, writing my own file selector or adapting someone elses? In the later case, which file-selector would you recomend me to adapt? Kate's, kdevelop's?

Thanks,

It's not so hard as you think. You can create KDirOperator (it's a regular widget) and connect apropriate signals (like clicked() and doubleClicked()). That's all :)

If you want, you can plug() its actions somewhere (for example, in toolbar). For example

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

KActionCollection *coll = dir_operator->actionCollection();

coll->action("back")->plug(toolbar);
coll->action("forward")->plug(toolbar);
coll->action("up")->plug(toolbar);

Ok. Sounds good.
I'll give it some thought and then make up my mind.

Thanks,
