Current most critical bugs

Bug 193908: There must be a way to tell the worker thread to stop when the GUI is being closed.
Bug 203126: Most of the code before app.exec() in main.cpp must be moved elsewhere to be run after the main loop starts. This should fix most event loop bugs related to batchextract.
Bug 204323: Support for remote locations must be implemented (shouldn't be too hard).

Ark Plans

KDE 4.4

See the feature plan for KDE 4.4.

Add visual feedback for the operations in the status bar
Add a proper way to display a notice to the user when autosubfolder is enabled in the extraction dialog
Make single/double-clicking an entry open the file in the default launcher instead of using the internal previewer (which shall become a context menu option)
proper cancel support and no crash if closed during exctraction
letting a plugin try to open something and possible fail, basically rework the plugin management
more GUI means a settings dialog for example. I also would like to share more functionality with dolphin as we discussed once (other view modes etc)
finish AddDialog
general code cleanup and api doxyfication

Personal TODOs

Harald

Formalize the dbus communication protocol and implement it in dolphin
BUG: After opening file from web, automatic subfolder detection name is confused
BUG: extractiondialog is confused by "/" in subfolder name
Check if we want the two last patches in bug #155220
Revert the single folder label
