I think the solution that leads to the best outcome (all libkdegames-using apps having access to all decks) would be to to write some sort of installer. That way people can just download the deck, "install" it (converts to PNG images and the standard layout in $(KDEHOME)), and use it in any of the existing games. > In my opinion, a KIO slave would be a good way, because that make it > easier to suppport other card formats which may be exist too.

It's my view that the existing system is fine, and we gain nothing by messing with it. :-) - -- Neil Stevens - neil@qualityassistant.com "The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty." -- Abraham Lincoln -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+6Fqof7mnligQOmERAtA0AJwP73Xf7/EeJ2U+FZFQA4aK1W2sFQCdH7KL gNMFVycO3awqHCa78oJnGIc= =Tbkn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-games-devel mailing list kde-games-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-games-devel
