Kio-powered file management

Not sure if I should be following this up on here, but I can't think of anywhere better.

First release of a flickr KIO.

http://dev.sharpley.org.uk/temp/flickrk ... 0.1.tar.gz
Requires libQJson

Standard compile instructions:

Make the direktory build: mkdir build
Change into the directory: cd build
run:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make

change to root:
make install

visit flickr:// in dolphin

you can also do
flickr://some username@/
(you sometimes need to do this when it forgets who you are too)

I'd like to support galleries as well as photosets, and some sort of searching. The code is pretty straightforward from now if someone else is willing to take it on, I'd be happy to be a mentor.

Well,

it's already possible. Earlier I've posted an idea here,
to provide aesy access to all kind of resources, local and remote. Look:
brainstorm.php#idea84975

Now this construction is mainly intended for local (USB) and remote (SMB/FTP) resources, but actually anything mountable works.

This construction can offer anything, as log it's mountable. In case of facebook and flickr, you will look for a fuse module:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/f ... s#Flickrfs

I'm busy on working on this construction, and it does not offer the mounting of flickr websites (and others) at this moment, but like I've already mentioned, as long there is a mount command, it's possible.

@bonassis
Fuse and KIO effectively do the same thing at different levels. There are pros and cons to either, people can argue that for hours - I went with KIO.

I was unaware of a FUSE service to do as described, might have been a good reference point for me.

I didn't really understand what your idea you linked to was saying, effectively a front end for mounting FUSE folders? (PM me, this thread is cluttered enough already)
