40 * @brief Acts as mediator between the abstract Dolphin view and the view
41 * implementations.
43 * The abstract Dolphin view (see DolphinView) represents the parent of the controller.
44 * The lifetime of the controller is equal to the lifetime of the Dolphin view.
45 * The controller is passed to the current view implementation
46 * (see DolphinIconsView, DolphinDetailsView and DolphinColumnView)
47 * by passing it in the constructor and informing the controller about the change
48 * of the view implementation:
50 * \code
51 * QAbstractItemView* view = new DolphinIconsView(parent, controller);
52 * controller->setItemView(view);
53 * \endcode
55 * The communication of the view implementations to the abstract view is done by:
56 * - triggerContextMenuRequest()
57 * - requestActivation()
58 * - triggerUrlChangeRequest()
59 * - indicateDroppedUrls()
60 * - indicateSortingChange()
61 * - indicateSortOrderChanged()
62 * - triggerItem()
63 * - requestTab()
64 * - handleKeyPressEvent()
65 * - emitItemEntered()
66 * - emitViewportEntered()
67 * - replaceUrlByClipboard()
68 * - hideToolTip()
70 * The communication of the abstract view to the view implementations is done by:
71 * - setUrl()
72 * - setShowHiddenFiles()
73 * - setShowPreview()
74 * - indicateActivationChange()
75 * - setZoomLevel()
