Marble/FileManagement

File Management Overview

The file loading historically was in and effort is ongoing to refactor this in the .

The ideas are to separate the file loading from other interested parts of marble, and to keep a reference store for read from those files.

As a consequence, PlacemarkManager solely deals with handling the placemarks, and relies on the FileManager to signal when files are read/closed. Other interested class can connect to those signals as well to know about file action.

The role of the FileManager is:

• support the various file formats thanks to and use the parsers quite exclusively from here.
• use threading support with loading the file asynchronously.
• provide the results of those parsing to models through so that plugins can have easy access to file data.
