    It will be able to:

    • Unpack packages
    • Map package files to standard QFiles
    • more...

    API

    • Bundler(QString/QFile filename) Creates a bundler that operates on the given package. Note that the package needs to be unpacked somewhere first, so operating on a dir is much faster
    • Bundler(KUrl dir) Creates a bundler that operates on the given directory.
    • extractTo(KUrl baseDir) Extracts (installs) the package into the given baseDir. It's not the directory where the package itself will be extracted, but the one called 'newstuff/' here.
    • KPluginInfo metadata() Returns a pluginInfo object. You can retrive most of the metadata from it.
    • QFile mapFile(QString filename)
    • bool initLayout(QString dir = "newstuff") Initializes the layout. It should be called only once, when app configuration files are created. It will use KStandardDirs::saveLocation() to create dirs. See the layout section for more informations.
