Description Nicolas Brisset 2005-01-06 15:53:39 UTC

Version:           1.1.0_dr1 (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

I have started investigating possible uses of the dcop interface for kst scripting and one thing I would want to use does not seem to be implemented yet, namely the ability to change the datafile for a given vector or series of vectors.
To be more precise, I would have the use of:
1) a function that changes the datafile for one vector: bool changeDataFileOneVector(QString objectName, QString filename)
2) a function that changes the datafile for all vectors from a first file (file1) to another file (file2): bool changeDataFileAllVectors(QString currentFilename, QString newFilename)

The preferred method for changing all files with data file X to data file Y is to use an indirect file (.cur).  I will add the following DCOP calls:

bool changeDataFile(const QString& fileName);
bool changeDataFile(const QString& vector, const QString& fileName);
bool changeDataFiles(const QStringList& vectors, const QString& fileName);
