REVISION SUMMARY looking for some general thoughts on the concept osx and newer sambas send model data in the dnssd entires. this allows osx to show fitting device icons based on the remote (and CRT icons for services discovered through other means than dns-sd). e.g. if you share something from your macbook your imac will show a macbook/laptop icon instead of a generic computer screen. meanwhile machines found over SMB1 (and I guess wsdiscovery) are shown with CRT screens and a BSOD. this prototype would essentially allow us to have a similar level of polish, albeit a bit dependent on samba since samba would need to have a suitable model set. for example tuxedo could set laptop-foobar in their smb.conf and a suitable icon set on clients could show a laptop or even foobar specific icon instead of the stock one. so, if we know the model we'd set `network-server-model-$modelName` e.g. `network-server-model-laptop-foobar` and an icon theme would be able to provide regular icon fallbacks to theme this. `network-server-model-laptop-foobar` as specific model icon (the foobar type laptop from $vendor) `network-server-model-laptop` as generic model icon if model isn't available `network-server` as generic server icon if the specific ones are not available on the WSD side we could also give WSD discovered hosts a WSD icon *cough CRT screen* ;) in point of fact, I am almost certain that I've seen something like _device-info, albeit much less precise, in one of the device profile SOAP specs. IIRC on the WSD side we can at least tell apart printers from actual computers, not sure if that is worth the headache of having to deal with more soap though *shrug* TEST PLAN have an osx machine on the network REPOSITORY R320 KIO Extras BRANCH wsd-model REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D27642 AFFECTED FILES smb/dnssddiscoverer.cpp smb/dnssddiscoverer.h To: sitter Cc: kde-frameworks-devel, ngraham, kfm-devel, broulik, pberestov, iasensio, fprice, LeGast00n, cblack, MrPepe, fbampaloukas, alexde, GB_2, Codezela, feverfew, meven, michaelh, spoorun, navarromorales, firef, andrebarros, bruns, emmanuelp, mikesomov
