Re: [Edyuk-devel] edyuk

[JPM <jp...@gm...>]

Hi luc

here is my qmdi version with the DnDTabBar.

Unfortunately I have to made a lot of changes especially in mergeMDI.
It's not fully integrated in your code. I hope you will have look on it 
because you know your code better then I.

The main problem with drag n drop Tabs are that you can't use the index 
anymore, because it can change.

The only certain key is the full filename inclusive path.
This is stored in tabData(QVariant) field.

For new unsaved documents you have to add a postindex like

Document1, Document2,...

Another problem is that, when you have two or more  new unsaved files 
and you like to save them to the same filename you have to remove one 
widget/tab and continue only with one tab because only one tab can have 
a full filename (unique key).

Maybe I can  check that with  my DnDTabBar class.


I have only touched qmdiworkspace.h and .cpp
Every where I made some changes I have add "// JPM 17.05.2007" at the end

I hope you can fix the rest.

Cheers

J
