  40  * @brief Acts as mediator between the abstract Dolphin view and the view
  41  *        implementations.
  42  *
  43  * The abstract Dolphin view (see DolphinView) represents the parent of the controller.
  44  * The lifetime of the controller is equal to the lifetime of the Dolphin view.
  45  * The controller is passed to the current view implementation
  46  * (see DolphinIconsView, DolphinDetailsView and DolphinColumnView)
  47  * by passing it in the constructor and informing the controller about the change
  48  * of the view implementation:
  49  *
  50  * \code
  51  * QAbstractItemView* view = new DolphinIconsView(parent, controller);
  52  * controller->setItemView(view);
  53  * \endcode
  54  *
  55  * The communication of the view implementations to the abstract view is done by:
  56  * - triggerContextMenuRequest()
  57  * - requestActivation()
  58  * - triggerUrlChangeRequest()
  59  * - indicateDroppedUrls()
  60  * - indicateSortingChange()

  69  * - setUrl()
