## Detailed Description

This class implements the reading/writing of bookmarks in XML.

The bookmarks file is read and written using the XBEL standard (http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/xbel/)

A sample file looks like this :

     <xbel>
       <bookmark href="http://developer.kde.org"><title>Developer Web Site</title></bookmark>
       <folder folded="no">
         <title>Title of this folder</title>
         <bookmark icon="kde" href="http://www.kde.org"><title>KDE Web Site</title></bookmark>
         <folder toolbar="yes">
           <title>My own bookmarks</title>
           <bookmark href="http://www.koffice.org"><title>KOffice Web Site</title></bookmark>
           <separator/>
           <bookmark href="http://www.kdevelop.org"><title>KDevelop Web Site</title></bookmark>
         </folder>
       </folder>
     </xbel>

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KBookmarkManager::KBookmarkManager | ( | const QString & | bookmarksFile,
|  | bool | bImportDesktopFiles = `true`
| ) | `[protected]`

Creates a bookmark manager with a path to the bookmarks.

By default, it will use the KDE standard dirs to find and create the correct location. If you are using your own app-specific bookmarks directory, you must instantiate this class with your own path before KBookmarkManager::managerForFile() is ever called.

Parameters:

  | bookmarksFile | full path to the bookmarks file, Use ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml for the konqueror bookmarks
  | bImportDesktopFiles | if true, and if the bookmarksFile doesn't already exist, import bookmarks from desktop files

Update access time stamps for a given url.

Parameters:

  | url | the viewed url
  | emitSignal | iff true emit KBookmarkNotifier signal

Since:
  3.2

Returns:
  true if any metadata was modified (bookmarks file is not saved automatically)

KBookmarkGroup KBookmarkManager::root | ( |  | ) | const

This will return the root bookmark.

It is used to iterate through the bookmarks manually. It is mostly used internally.

Returns:
  the root (top-level) bookmark

Returns:
  the toolbar group

void KBookmarkManager::setEditorOptions | ( | const QString & | caption,
|  | bool | browser
| ) |

Set options with which slotEditBookmarks called keditbookmarks this can be used to change the appearance of the keditbookmarks in order to provide a slightly differing outer shell depending on the bookmarks file / app which calls it.

Parameters:

  | caption | the --caption string, for instance "Konsole"
  | browser | iff false display no browser specific menu items in keditbookmarks :: --nobrowser

KBookmarkManager * KBookmarkManager::managerForFile | ( | const QString & | bookmarksFile,
|  | bool | bImportDesktopFiles = `true`
| ) | `[static]`

This static function will return an instance of the KBookmarkManager, responsible for the given `bookmarksFile`.

If you do not instantiate this class either natively or in a derived class, then it will return an object with the default behaviors. If you wish to use different behaviors, you must derive your own class and instantiate it before this method is ever called.

Parameters:

  | bookmarksFile | full path to the bookmarks file, Use ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml for the konqueror bookmarks
  | bImportDesktopFiles | if true, and if the bookmarksFile doesn't already exist, import bookmarks from desktop files

Returns:
  a pointer to an instance of the KBookmarkManager.
