[bt-devel] drag and drop

[Martin Gruner]

Hi,

first of all: Bibletime is great! I tool a deeper look at the sources and I 
really like it. It is quite well structured. Much better than 0.2x!!!

Joachim, I thought about Drag and Drop. My proposals (as a newbie):

1. QTextDrag knows about sub-mimetypes (e.g. text/plain, text/html). We use 
this feature by introducing our own. (e.g. text/bible/reference). Thereby the 
content of the Drag is indicated.

2. We implement a class CDragAndDropManager (in /frontend/dndmanager).
It countains all the dnd management code of the presenters, the groupmanager 
etc. If such a widget receives a dndevent, it calls a widget-specific 
function in this (friend!) class. Thereby we will be able to maintain dnd 
code of all widgets easy. 
e.g. processQDropEvent(CBiblePresenter *, QDropEvent *).
The content of the QTextDrag will decide what to do with it, and 
CDragAndDropManager will eventually call functions from the sender object.
We only have to add similar functions for different widgets.

Joachim, please send (or post) some screenshots. That is a very good Idea! We 
can only learn from other projects!
I would not like to give the search dialog a new layout without discussion 
and coparison with other projects. Also I don't know about new features for 
the search dialog. We should forget about the present one for a while, and 
think about a new one. What features would be useful, and what layout would 
make work easier?
But I would rather like to start with the DND management - if you like the 
Idea.

waiting for your comments

Martin

P.S. Joachim, the lines are

bibletime_init.cpp:145	//CHECK_PTR(windowMenu);
and
the second one I don't remember. It contains setCipherKey() you recently 
implemented it while discussing with Troy.
