Browsing archives in KDE4

Yesterday, I compiled KDE4 and ported the jstream kioslave to it. This means that now you can open email attachements or embedded files in any KDE application without writing a temporary copy. The screenshot below shows konqueror with a treeview of the testdata that comes with Strigi. You can see that the sizes and modification times of the files are displayed properly.

There is discussion on the mailing list about the possibility of integrating this functionality deeper in KDE by adding it to libkio. In any case the kioslave is available now in SVN.
