Description: kfile_chemical is a set of kfile plugins for chemistry documents. It has support for XYZ, PDB, MDL mol/sd, Mol2, CML, ShelX, SMILES and CIF files.
It is currently in alpha stage: 1.0 will be alpha too; it will be feature complete, i.e. proving plugins kfile plugins for all files mentioned at the official chemical mime page (and a few more).
Version 2.0 will be beta, and feature a more organized set of extracted pieces of information.
Version 3.0 will be beta too, and mime magic, which is a method to detect the mime type not from the file extension, but from the content.
Verion 4.0 will be the first stable release and is aimed to be ready with Kubuntu 6.04 and KDE 4.0.Last changelog:
0.11 ------------------------ * converted to bksys/scons * more APIDOX * removed redundant config.h imports
Thanx!
Maybe we can do some funny stuff... like add an action 'Open with Kalzium' to show the periodic table with the elements highlighted that were 'used' in the file.
E.g. say the file contained benzene, it would make all elements but carbon and hydrogen grey, and C and H highlighted in some way.

I uploaded a Debian/Kubuntu package. It depends on chemicalmime to be installed which can be downloaded from: http://debian.wgdd.de/debian/ Egon

Hmmm... This would require to edit kalzium to add this function. However, the idea is good.
Well, highlighting elements is planned anyway. I will work with Egon on that.
this is very cool, to have support for these kind of things... thanx for contributing it!
