Detailed Description

A widget which provides access to the file system as a side widget.

A side widget which can be used in the Qtilities main window architecture. For example:

#define MODE_ID 101

DynamicSideWidgetViewer* side_viewer_widget = new DynamicSideWidgetViewer(MODE_ID);
QMap<QString, ISideViewerWidget*> text_iface_map;
QList<int> file_system_modes;
file_system_modes << MODE_ID;

SideViewerWidgetFactory* factory = new SideViewerWidgetFactory(&SideWidgetFileSystem::factory,"My Label",file_system_modes,QList<int>(),false);
text_iface_map[factory->widgetLabel()] = factory;
connect(factory,SIGNAL(newWidgetCreated(QWidget*)),SLOT(handleNewFileSystemWidget(QWidget*)));

side_viewer_widget->setIFaceMap(text_iface_map,true);
side_viewer_widget->show();
