This is a sample kipi plugin to demonstrate how to start to implement a new tool.
A plugin is at least constituate of these files :
- CMakeLists.txt : a rules to compile tool. - kipiplugin_helloworld.desktop : a KDE desktop file to make visible this tool from KIPI host applications. - plugin_kxmlhelloworld.h : the definition of tool based on KIPI::Plugin class. - plugin_kxmlhelloworld.cpp : the implemention of tool. Usually we name plugin entry class file as plugin_*.h/.cpp with * the name of tool.
We also provide 2 documentation text files :
- README : to give a minimum information about tool - TODO : to list all pending tasks to implement.
It's highly recommend to read comments from source to know how to start the implementation of a new tool. Take a look also to shared libkipi and kipiplugins/common/libkipiplugins private API.
