Hello developers!
Let me introduce itself. I'm Denis Koryavov - the head of UI development department in ROSA, Russia.
We work on our distro based on KDE and created several utilities for KDE which we want to submit for
your consideration. We'll be happy if you will found them useable.
StackFolder
StackFolder is an utility that looks like some several utilities from KDE. Originally it is a fork of
plasma-applet-folderview that redesigned to look like MacOS X Stask utility (for the time being
it rewritten on QML with the parts of old code). Here is the video where you can see the features of
StackFolders (this is a old video, but topical):

Or you can use git for fetching the sources:
KLook
KLook is an other utility for KDE, it written in QML. With the help of this utility, user can quickly
look at files with different mime-types. In fact, it is practically exact copy of MacOS X
QuickLook utility). User can use it directly from the Dolphin file manager by pressing
a 'Space' key on keyboard.
-- FEATURES --
For now KLook supports:
- audio and video files (all that supported by Phonon);
- graphic files (png, jpg);
- text files;
- for files with different mime-types (and folders) user can see its preferences;
We created a video with the demonstration of functions of KLook. You can see it here:
This video is also old, but topical. On it you can see 70% functions of the KLook (after we created this
video we added integration with the StackFolder, possibility to listen audio files and possibility
to see any file, as minimum - its properties).

A patch for KDE 4.8 that allows to use KLook directly from the Dolphin file manager is here:
Both of these utilities are included in our distro and were well tested by many users. It is time to present
them for you. We have resources to work on them and later, and if you will decide that that they are
worthy of KDE, we would be happy to work on them in KDE project.
Thanks!
