This is a C++ dynamic ibrary program to expand capabilities in the Qt File operation library to facilitate better functionality, at least for my work.
This is a C++ program so you will need to be able to compile this on your system. It is based on Linux but can be convertedd to Windows or MacOS with a bit of work. The cross-platform Qt library supporting this will help. This also uses .pro files to describe the compilation and build the makefile. If you are not familiar with Qt .pro files please see Qt documentation, version 4.8.6
Known operationally good configuration: Fedora 20 kernel 3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64 At least Qt 4.8.x (untested on Qt5)
Once compiled you will need to place the library in a place accessible by any software wanting to access this library and also the File_API text file into an include directory that will be required by your software program. NOTE: you will need to change the locations listed in the File_API library to correspond where you have located the header files.
