There are a couple of Gnome based: timevault and flyback but I've not seen kde based

thanks,

Now that TimeVault is using a dbus interface with a server/frontend type interface, it might be interesting to create a kde/qt gui or even a kioslave to navigate TimeVault in KDE.

From https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~astrom ... vault-kde4 After working a little bit on HAL support in the timevault-external branch, I have a bunch of ideas.

First of all, I want to have a Qt4/KDE4 based version of TimeVault. I will try and keep the core as Desktop Environment independent as possible, but I would like a KDE4 gui as well.

Secondly, I want TimeVault to be integrated. This means Solid, Nepomuk, all of the fun frameworks =).

Some ideas:
* TimeVault should have a kio-slave for browsing snapshots.
* Maybe TimeVault should register with Strigi/Nepomuk so that other apps can be made aware of the snapshots
* Maybe TimeVault should handle contact backups/other configuration backups via Akonadi and KConfig rather than relying on files.
* TimeVault might be able to use Solid instead/in addition to HAL to check for media and to manage where backups are stored.
* More ideas?
