</div>I think the best example is the KArchive frameworks, since Qt developers \
have<br> been missing ZIP support in Qt (and other archive formats), as well as \
single-<br> file gzip/bzip2/xz compression.<br>
<br>
Then there's sonnet, a complete spellchecking framework (core and widgets).<br>
<br>
Solid, for hardware detection (<a href="http://solid.kde.org" \
target="_blank">http://solid.kde.org</a> iirc)<br> <br>
Threadweaver, for giving out jobs to threads with support for job dependencies<br>
(which is not available in QThreadPool).<br>
<br>
KIdleTime, detecting when the user is not using the computer (cross-platform)<br>
<br>
KConfig, a non-deprecated configuration framework :-)<br>
(with better API and more features than the almost-deprecated QSettings)<br>
<br>
Many addons for the model/view framework (currently called "itemmodels", \
maybe<br> that's a bit too generic though).<br>
<br>
KIO, a "VFS" implementation based on Qt.<br>
<br>
KCoreAddons, for<br>
* a job 'framework' for asynchronous tasks<br>
* random numbers / random strings / random ordering in lists<br>
* auto-saving, backups<br>
* file locking (which I plan to try and move to Qt for 5.1)<br>
<br>
A large number of additional widgets (capacity bar, led, ruler, selector,<br>
separator, x/y selector, ... a lot more coming)<br>
