DS Misc > NDS KFile Plugin (for KDE)

#83269 - xalso - Sun May 14, 2006 9:22 pm

I've made a little plugin for the KDE users among us. It displays the metainfo of .nds files in Konqueror and other KDE programs. It also displays the embedded icon as file icon.

Same thing for .gba files:

it only half-worked for me.
no special icon, no tooltip(but i dont think those pop up for any files for me)

KDE 3.5.2
Fedora Core 5
i used the non-.deb file

wonderful idea, though.

Have you tried to build it with:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
(i think KDE has to be restarted then to reload the plugins)

If the --prefix=/usr argument is not specified the plugin gets installed into the directory /usr/local/kde. (The installation directories of the plugin have to match those of your KDE installation.)

I hope this helps.
