3. Usage

QPcmcia allows the user to edit the pcmcia configuration files using a listview, which shows the appropriate files info.

Currently only the opts files with sections (schemes) are supported. If opened, all lines are red into a programs list. All sections are shown as parent entries, while the sections enties are childs of that. If a parent is opened, the childs (entries) are selectable and changeable. To change an entry, select it and edit the line in the lineedit field. The SectionLineEditField shows you the actually choosen section.

Note : Qt seems to have a problem with single selection mode, when the expand method is used on listviews. For this, it may happen, that you have multiple entries selected. Be quiet, the lineedit and sectionlineedit shows you the actual selections.

All commenst are read in, but suppressed for visualisation at the moment. In the future there may be a version, where you can show / change the comments.

When all changes are made, you select either the Ok-Button or the Cancel-Button. If Ok is selected, the results are written into the selected opts file.

Warning : Currently no backup is made (future feature).

3.1 Adding scheme entries

To add scheme entries, select one entry and click the Copy-Button followed by the Paste-Button. The entry (including all comment lines) is copied and inserted into the existing listview. The Schemes name is changed by prefixing a incrementing number, to guarantee the uniqueness of scheme names. The user may change the schemes name and entries and store the results.

3.2 Deleting scheme entries

To delete scheme entries, select one entry and press the Delete-Button. After a confirmation, the entry is deleted.

Warning : Currently you may delete all entries.
