Good morning Denies

Let me first thank you for brining your stuff upstream and your interest to 
work together!

I took a look at the videos below and there is some ideas and questions from 
my side.

Looks really nice. You speak about the fork of plasma-applet-folderview. Were 
you in contact with the Plasma people (plasma-devel@kde.org)?

I like it. First thought was: what about pdf support but then I saw something 
about this in the video. What's the status about pdfs?

If it's about Dolphin were you in contact with Peter Penz, the Dolphin

I think (please others correct me if I'm wrong) a first step would be to get a 
KDE account and import your software to the KDE git playground area.

Thanks for your work on and with KDE software
