Hi, This time I am in trouble experimenting with KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase
Here is the code: class SKioSlave : public KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase{ public: SKioSlave(const QByteArray& poolSocket, const QByteArray& appSocket); virtual ~SKioSlave(); virtual bool rewriteUrl(const KUrl& url, KUrl& newURL); }; extern "C" int KDE_EXPORT kdemain( int argc, char **argv ){ KComponentData instance( "kio_sparkle" ); if (argc != 4){ fprintf( stderr, "Usage: kio_sparkle protocol domain-socket1 domain-socket2\n"); exit( -1 ); } SKioSlave slave( argv[2], argv[3] ); slave.dispatchLoop(); return 0; } SKioSlave::SKioSlave(const QByteArray& poolSocket, const QByteArray& appSocket): ForwardingSlaveBase("sparkle", poolSocket, appSocket){ } SKioSlave::~SKioSlave(){ } bool SKioSlave::rewriteUrl(const KUrl& url, KUrl& newURL){ newURL.setProtocol("file"); newURL.addPath("/");//Just in case we dont get '/' for root return true; } Here is the protocol file: [Protocol] exec=kio_sparkle protocol=sparkle Icon=user-desktop input=none output=filesystem listing=Name,Type,Size,Date,AccessDate,Access,Owner,Group,Link reading=true writing=true makedir=true deleting=true linking=true moving=true opening=true maxInstances=4 Class=:local Here is the outpur of 'kioclient exec sparkle:/' kioclient(20314)/kio (KRun): KRun(0x78fc80) ERROR 143 "The process for the sparkle protocol died unexpectedly." Monitoring with debug messages (above code is striped of them) show that rewriteUrl() is being called and it is ok till return. Please shed some light on this. I'm getting crazy ;-) Regards, Yogesh Marwaha >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
