And it's meant to be the only one that knows -- to make the real location as transparent as possible to both the user and the applications. To this end it insulates the application from all information and applications always refer to a file with a resource type (e.g. icon) and a filename (e.g. khexdit.xpm). In an ideal world the application would make no assumption where this file is and leave it up to KStandardDirs.findResource("apps", "Home.desktop") to apply this knowledge to return /opt/kde/share/applnk/Home.desktop or .locate("data", "kgame/background.jpg") to return /opt/kde/share/apps/kgame/background.jpg The main idea behind KStandardDirs is that there are several toplevel prefixes below which the files lie. One of these prefixes is the one where the user installed tdelibs, one is where the application was installed, and one is $HOME/.kde, but there may be even more. Under these prefixes there are several well defined suffixes where specific resource types are to be found. For example, for the resource type "html" the suffixes could be share/doc/HTML and share/doc/tde/HTML. So the search algorithm basically appends to each prefix each registered suffix and tries to locate the file there. To make the thing even more complex, it's also possible to register absolute paths that KStandardDirs looks up after not finding anything in the former steps. They can be useful if the user wants to provide specific directories that aren't in his $HOME/.kde directory for, for example, icons.
  • Standard resources that tdelibs allocates are:
  • apps - Applications menu (.desktop files).
  • cache - Cached information (e.g. favicons, web-pages)
  • cgi - CGIs to run from kdehelp.
  • config - Configuration files.
  • data - Where applications store data.
  • exe - Executables in $prefix/bin. findExe() for a function that takes $PATH into account.
  • html - HTML documentation.
  • icon - Icons, see KIconLoader.
  • lib - Libraries.
  • locale - Translation files for KLocale.
  • mime - Mime types.
  • module - Module (dynamically loaded library).
  • qtplugins - Qt plugins (dynamically loaded objects for Qt)
  • services - Services.
  • servicetypes - Service types.
  • scripts - Application scripting additions.
  • sound - Application sounds.
  • templates - Templates
  • wallpaper - Wallpapers.
  • tmp - Temporary files (specific for both current host and current user)
  • socket - UNIX Sockets (specific for both current host and current user)
  • emoticons - Emoticons themes (Since KDE 3.4)
  • A type that is added by the class KApplication if you use it, is appdata. This one makes the use of the type data a bit easier as it appends the name of the application. So while you had to .locate("data", "appname/filename") so you can also write .locate("appdata", "filename") if your KApplication instance is called "appname" (as set via KApplication's constructor or KAboutData, if you use the global KStandardDirs object KGlobal.dirs()). Please note though that you cannot use the "appdata" type if you intend to use it in an applet for Kicker because 'appname' would be "Kicker" instead of the applet's name. Therefore, for applets, you've got to work around this by using .locate("data", "appletname/filename"). KStandardDirs supports the following environment variables:
  • TDEDIRS: This may set an additional number of directory prefixes to search for resources. The directories should be separated by ':'. The directories are searched in the order they are specified.
  • TDEDIR: Used for backwards compatibility. As TDEDIRS but only a single directory may be specified. If TDEDIRS is set TDEDIR is ignored.
  • TDEHOME: The directory where changes are saved to. This directory is used to search for resources first. If TDEHOME is not specified it defaults to "$HOME/.kde"
  • TDEROOTHOME: Like TDEHOME, but used for the root user. If TDEROOTHOME is not set it defaults to the .kde directory in the home directory of root, usually "/root/.kde". Note that the setting of $HOME is ignored in this case.
