I was told that I was wrong about this - Gwenview does not read `.directory` files and instead uses a D-Bus API to communicate directly with Dolphin. The reason I thought Gwenview uses `.directory` files is because using `strace` you can see that it opens and reads these files - but from reviewing the source code, I can't find the code for that - so its probably some framework library that does something innocuous. This doesn't mean that Dolphin integrates with Gwenview, and as for inter-module dependency - this isn't worse than Gwenview reading a file and looking for the text "Dolphin", and people can argue that it is better (i.e. weaker dependency) because a D-Bus API is well specified. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
