staging/kservice/src/plugin/kplugintrader.h <http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112680/#comment29399> I guess at this point we can remove references to CORBA :-) (This was initially written because it was replacing the pre-kde-2.0 corba trader) staging/kservice/src/plugin/kplugintrader.h <http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112680/#comment29400> same here (and the one before) : I'd swap subDirectory and serviceType. We really want to encourage people to pass a subdirectory. The performance would be horrendous otherwise. staging/kservice/src/plugin/kplugintrader.cpp <http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112680/#comment29396> the var name needs adjusting (copy/pasted from kservicetypetrader) staging/kservice/src/plugin/kplugintrader.cpp <http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112680/#comment29398> s/( /(/ and s/ )/)/ everywhere. staging/kservice/src/plugin/kplugintrader.cpp <http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112680/#comment29397> Do we want to support the "simple case" of servicetype being empty? I.e. "load all plugins from subDirectory", without an additional servicetype constraint. It seems to me that this would simplify a number of use cases like kf5/thumbcreator/ kf5/kcmodules/ kf5/kurifilters/ i.e. all the cases were the type of service is already clear from the subdir name. This is in contrast with kf5/calligra/ unless they also use one subdir per servicetype, it's also in contrast with KParts where a part implements multiple servicetypes (readonly part, readwrite part, browserview) etc. The servicetype argument (and the servicetype in the metadata) is still useful for these cases, but it's just redundant for the "simple cases" (which might actually be 90% of the cases...) Actually this might even be a reason to swap the two arguments: subDirectory, servicetype = QString(), constraint = QString() staging/kservice/src/plugin/kplugintrader.cpp <http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112680/#comment29401> Remind me, why isn't this just a constructor argument? That would solve the issues with modifying an explicitly-shared-object. - David Faure On Sept. 12, 2013, 3:12 a.m., Sebastian Kügler wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
