Hi,

once again I need your help. :-P

My programm starts a little KJob, copying some files. If KJob is finished, I want to generate some Links. But for this I need the filenames. But KJob can't give me these names. So I have to save them manualy. The Problem is, that there can be more than one KJob at the same time. So I have to figure out which KJob did which job. How would you do this?

Maybe use a QMap, which the Job is added to ( along with file name ) at the start, then when finished(KJob*) is emitted by your KJob, use QMap::value(KJob*) to retrieve the file name.

Hmm, the CopyJob has accessors for source and destination URLs, doesn't it?

Cheers,

This sounds interesting, I will take a look.

Shure your right, but how do I use it? I'm starting this job like this:

Code: Select all

const KJob *cJob = KIO::copy(src, dest);

But if I write something with this

Code: Select all

cJob->srcUrls();

this error will be shown:

‘class KJob’ has no member named ‘srcUrls’

KIO::copy() returns a CopyJob pointer.

You either have to assign to a variable of this type or cast to this type if you assign to a base class pointer.

Thanks, I casted it like this:

Code: Select all

KIO::CopyJob* cJob = (KIO::CopyJob*)job;

Ugh. You're doing C++, not C, so please use:

Code: Select all

KIO::CopyJob* cJob = qobject_cast(job);

You're right. I'm learning so much here, thanks
