KIconDialog++ is an upgraded KDE software that enhances the icon dialog experience.
KIconDialog++ is an improved icon dialog specially designed for KDE users. The source code is almost complete, and a test application is also included. Though it is still in the preview edition, this software has exciting features that will impress you. It is even binary-compatible with KDE 3.
However, if you want to build it, you need to manually edit the Makefile since it is not autotooled yet. Please refer to the README and BUGS files for more information.
The latest release has some significant changes. First, some initial GUI annoyances have been fixed. Secondly, non-system icons that are larger than the requested size are now scaled down. Thirdly, lockUser and lockcustomDir parameters have been modified and renamed to lockContext and lockBrowse, respectively, to improve their descriptiveness. Additionally, KIconButton now supports all KIconDialog's options, especially customDir, lockContext, and lockBrowse.
To test its full capabilities, you can try using KIconTester, which is a full-featured testbed. Overall, KIconDialog++ is a prototype software that is meant to be run directly, and its features will make your desktop experience better.
