The most urgent are the libraries and perhaps koconverter.

Porting to the needed filters can be done later.

(Remember the rule: a KOffice filter == one feature, so that it is less depend 
on feature freeze. Otherwise nearly no work would have been possible on filters 
in the last years.)

Have a nice day!

Hi,

The filter settings framework (if you call it that :)) I promised a while ago.

The 2 main motivations behind this are the following:

1. No more export filter dialogs popping up on _every_ single save with the 
wrong options preselected (no communication with the import filter)

2. True batch conversion via koconverter.

The basic idea is that a QMap <QString, QString> gets passed around and has 
settings in the format: "<filter>-<setting>" e.g. 
"kwordasciifilter-encoding"="cp1251".

Is the idea ok?  I'll have to implement it rather quickly and port KWord's 
ascii and html filters to beat the feature freeze.  The patches are just to 
show the idea (they probably don't apply because I had to manually edit out 
other changes).  Yes, they were written in hurry (I have exams very soon).

Clarence
