Split screen should solve this problem, but nautilus should have its own way!! There was an MDI discussion about the splitting the Nautilus windows just last week. Consensus is that it is a job of window manager, so you would rather need to work on Metacity to support this. * Option to display the album art of the music files as their icons. Cool idea. Could be implemented as a thumbnailer. For the audio files and for the containing directory. I don't know whether folders support thumbnailing. If not, it could be a task to add this functionality. * Option for viewing and editing the ratings of the media files. Rating is media-player specific, so it would be a job on the Rhythmbox, not Nautilus. Nautilus already supports adding custom properties tabs. * Using sshfs, ftpfs, smbfs support, we can implement the remote file browsing also. Gio/gvfs already support this. These features should be optional since some users like the nautilus for its simplicity. And they are. You install the required package, or not. ;-) -- /\_./o__ Tomasz Sterna (/^/(_^^' http://www.xiaoka.com/ ._.(_.)_ im:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list

[I don't know if nautilus already supports this feature]. apt-get install nautilus-actions nautilus-script-manager I don't understand why you proudly propose to install nautilus-actions while, when it was propose to have nautilus officially support it, you didn't want to. Do you reckon this package add nautilus a functionality that is asked by a lot of people ? * Editable file address buttons [similar to the one in vista explorer] What are the editable address buttons? This, in fact, already exists but is not automatique (see attached screenshots). * Using sshfs, ftpfs, smbfs support, we can implement the remote file browsing also. Gio/gvfs already support this. But this requires application that wants to use it to code using those API. Using integrated FuseFS will ease a lot developers life and will facilitate integration of application to the desktop.

Hi, Dnia 2008-03-01, So o godzinie 20:00 +0530, Nageshwar M pisze: List of the Features: * Integrated desktop search engines A search box will be placed on the right-top edge. apt-get install deskbar Deskbar is the application for global search. If the user wants to search inside a particular folder, he can enter the query in the nautilus search box. What my idea is that, including a search option in nautilus which uses desktop search engines as background. * Embedded previews. [supports document viewer, gthumb viewer, totem player, openoffice] The default viewers should be decided based on their loading time. users can also write scripts to support more views. Nautilus already supports thumbnailers. Eog provides thumbnailers for pictures, Totem for movies, Evince for PDFs, etc. Providing thumbnailer is a task for viewer, not Nautilus. Here, what I meant to say is not thumbnailers. User can directly read a page of pdf, directly watch a video clip etc., * Option to remember the currently opened windows. useful at the time of reboot. Job of gnome-session. Just enable the option in Session Preferences. I thought it works only for applications.. that's why I included this. * Pre-loading the contents of the next possible directories. Based on the previous user behavior, nautilus predicts next possible directories in the user navigation and pre loads the contents like file properties, thumbnails etc., apt-get install preload I think preload is a deamon that caches the loading properties of most used applications only.. It effects only loading time. but my proposal is read-ahead directory contents, file properties...which effects the navigating time and performance * Editable file address buttons [similar to the one in vista explorer] What are the editable address buttons? Nautilus already have button type display of the file path. But we can't directly edit the path, if we are in button mode. My proposal is If the user double clicks the buttons, the mode should be toggled i.e the editable textbox should appear. And thanks for your suggestions.. -- Best Regards, Nageshwar M. -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
Re: GVFS FTP backend
Hi! I wonder if this backend can change servers/drives during a session. I don't know if there is technical term for it. I mean following situation in a terminal: I connect to a server (my university): ftp ftp-nw.fh-regensburg.de After login, I am on my personal folder. To access common folder for all the scripts on another server/drive I have to type two slashes cd //fh-kroesus/data1 In Nautilus nor in konqueror I found a possibility to change into such a directory, but every ftp standalone software can do that.

I think at the end of this week or the beginning of next week it should be in an ok state and not get frequent changes anymore. Release and l10n teams agreed on IRC that a working ftp backend is more important than any freezes, so I'm allowed to not care about those until further notice. This means in partiular that gvfs will get various ftp-related string changes during at least this week. Another thing: If there is anyone using Nautilus for FTP and is willing to help me test my backend, I would be very thankful. Especially if this person knows it has to use weird FTP servers, so we can ensure it also works properly on those. I myself only have real access to 2 or 3 different FTP servers for testing. Plus I'm busy ading features, so testing might come a bit short. If you want to test, please get svn trunk of gvfs running and poke me in GImpNet's #nautilus IRC channel.
