This is about more than purity, it's about bugs and usability. kio-locate has the same issue as KFind has: the initial listing may work fine, but not the subsequent operations on it. E.g. if you delete a file from a konsole, it won't disappear from the kio-locate or kfind listing (KDirWatch functionality not integrated). If you rename a file in that listing, even from Konqueror, it won't update the view either (because it relies on KDirWatch to work). I pointed this out to the KFind maintainer, and he said he was going to look into using KDirWatch in KFind. However this isn't possible with kio-locate. For kioslaves, it's KDirLister that handles the KDirWatch stuff, but it can't do that with broken semantics (directories containing files with absolute paths). This is why I think it would be better to integrate locate into kfind - this can mean using kio-locate as backend, why not (although maybe not really necessary). - -- David FAURE, david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ Contributing to: http://www.konqueror.org/, http://www.koffice.org/ KOffice-1.2.1 is available - http://download.kde.org/stable/koffice-1.2.1/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9/a1r72KcVAmwbhARAmXPAJ9XZQElY2o6OuWoYUXGiypoFNXl1wCfXdik o/aN7UbLbqR0BDEtO7NWPKY= =YqIa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
