It keeps a hierarchical list of tasks. Each task has a timer +associated with it. The primary user interaction for karm is to start and stop the appropriate timer. + +\section map Road Map to the Classes + +MainWindow is the outermost layer and initializes the menus and actions, sets +up the status bar, and handles many of the signal-to-slot connections. It +holds a pointer to the TaskView and Preferences objects and implements the +%Karm's DCOP interface (defined in KarmDCOPIface). + +TaskView does most of the work in the application. This KListView subclass +sets up the columns in the list, the idle detection timer, the auto save +timer, and the desktop tracker. It starts and stops timers, handles importing +and exporting and displays the edit task dialog in response to user action. +TaskView holds a private pointer to Preferences and KarmStorage objects. + +A Task is a QListViewItem subclass stores state such as the timer totals, if a +timer is currently running for the task. It also defines the list view sort +order and can return a pointer to a KCal::Todo object that holds the same +information. + +Preferences is a singleton that stores configuration options. It raises +signals when options change (for example, the location where the karm data is +stored) so the application can react and adjust. + +KarmStorage is a singleton that creates an interface for storing KArm data. +Currently, it uses KDE Resource framework and stores data in the iCalendar +format. + +*/ + +/** \page sig_slot_index Index of Signals and Slots + +To get an understanding of the flow program, it may be useful to see an overview of all of the signals, slots, and +connections.
