+\title FolderListModel - a C++ model plugin
+\example src/imports/folderlistmodel
+
+This plugin shows how to make a C++ model available to QML. It presents
+a simple file list for a single folder (directory) and allows the presented
+folder to be changed.
+
+\image declarative-folderlistmodel.png The FolderListModel used to choose a QML file
+
+We do not explain the model implementation in detail, but rather focus on the mechanics of
+making the model available to QML.
+
+\section1 Usage from QML
+
+The type we are creating can be used from QML like this:
+
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/folderlistmodel.qml 0
+
+\section1 Defining the Model
+
+We are subclassing QAbstractListModel which will allow us to give data to QML and
+send notifications when the data changes:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h class begin
+
+As you see, we also inherit the QDeclarativeParserStatus interface, so that we
+can delay initial processing until we have all properties set (via componentComplete() below).
+
+The first thing to do when devising a new type for QML is to define the properties
+you want the type to have:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h class props
+
+The purposes of each of these should be pretty obvious - in QML we will set the folder
+to display (a file: URL), and the kinds of files we want to show in the view of the model.
+
+Next are the constructor, destructor, and standard QAbstractListModel subclassing requirements:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h abslistmodel
+
+The data() function is where we provide model values. The rowCount() function
+is also a standard part of the QAbstractListModel interface, but we also want to provide
+a simpler count property:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h count
+
+Then we have the functions for the remaining properties which we defined above:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h prop funcs
+
+Imperative actions upon the model are made available to QML via a Q_INVOKABLE tag on
+a normal member function. The isFolder(index) function says whether the value at \e index
+is a folder:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h isfolder
+
+Then we have the QDeclarativeParserStatus interface:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h parserstatus
+
+Then the NOTIFY function for the folders property. The implementation will emit this
+when the folder property is changed.
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h notifier
+
+The class ends with some implementation details:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h class end
+
+Lastly, the boilerplare to declare the type for QML use:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/qdeclarativefolderlistmodel.h qml decl
+
+\section1 Connecting the Model to QML
+
+To make this class available to QML, we only need to make a simple subclass of QDeclarativeExtensionPlugin:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/plugin.cpp class decl
+
+and then use the standard Qt plugin export macro:
+
+\snippet src/imports/folderlistmodel/plugin.cpp plugin export decl
+
+Finally, in order for QML to connect the "import" statement to our plugin, we list it in the qmldir file:
+
+\l{src/imports/folderlistmodel/qmldir}
+
+This qmldir file and the compiled plugin will be installed in \c $QTDIR/imports/Qt/labs/folderlistmodel/ where
+the QML engine will find it (since \c $QTDIR/imports is the value of QLibraryInf::libraryPath()).
+
+\section1 Implementing the Model
+
+We'll not discuss the model implementation in detail, as it is not specific to QML - any Qt C++ model
+can be interfaced to QML.
+This implementation is basically just takes the krufty old QDirModel,
+which is a tree with lots of detailed roles and re-presents it as a simpler list model where
+each item is just a fileName and a filePath (as a file: URL rather than a plain file, since QML
+works with URLs for all content).
+
