Please, DataEngines have given us many issues in KDE4 because they were seen (I guess) as a quick hack thing, let's stop this.
DataEngines are public api as much as any import the moment you can use them from any plasmoid. And in contrast from a Model they usually have no documentation and they are hard to read since you don't have to define the Roles in the header. So, if DataEngines are needed (I do not doubt that) let's continue having them but let's stop pretending they are not public API or that they are meant only for a quick hack. We don't want hacks do we? :p Cheers. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
